   In the author profile we habe all his posts as a list. Every author can have his own guestbook by writing a post in category guestbook. Now I want to query the guestbook outside the loop.

   I tried

   <ul>
   <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts('category=40');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
   <li><a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>

   but with this I get the guestbook-links of all authors in the profile of each author.

   How can I get only the guestbook-post of the current author in the current author's profile?

   Thanks
   Rita

   Try:
   

   <?php
   $author = get_userdata(get_query_var('author'));
   $mypost = new WP_Query('showposts=1&cat=40&author=' . $author->ID);
   if($mypost) : $mypost->the_post();
   ?>
   <ul>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   </ul>
   <?php endif; ?>

   Hi, it's me again.

   Is there any chance to get the contend AND the comments of the post together with the title? I tried and was able to get the contend, but not the comments.

   Thanks,
   Rita
