 * Hi deodev!
 * One way I can think of would be using the `pre_get_posts` filter.
 * Something like:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_post_types_to_author' );
       function add_post_types_to_author( $query ){
       	// set the new post type to return, and check if we are in
       	// an author archive page
       	if( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && $query->is_author() ){
       		$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'download' ) );
           }
   
       	// Return our new query
       	return $query;
       }
       ```
   
 * Sort of a rough start but you can alter to your choosing. You can use that in
   a child theme’s `funtcions.php` file, or a parent theme’s `functions.php` file,
   or even a functionality plugin. A little more information about the filter:

 * Hallo,
 * Pretty straightforward:
 * 1) Create the custom post type – I assume you already have done this?
 * 2) Create a template for the author page
 * 3) In the template:
 * a) Get the current author id
 * b) Use a Standard loop wp_query that looks for all posts of the custom post type
   that are authored by the current author.
 * See
