 * Hi all,
 * I’m trying to edit the author/tag page, I want to create a list of articles by
   the clicked author/tag, is this possible?.
 * I’m basically using the same template that I use for category page but instead
   of arraying by category I need them arraying by author/tag.
 * Thanks

 * Okay so what’s the code you’re using and what is the result?

 * Hi Rajesh,
 * The code I’m currently using is:
 *     ```
       <?php
       global $post;
       $current_author = get_query_var('author');
       $author_posts=  get_posts( 'author='.$user->id.'&posts_per_page=15' );
       foreach ($author_posts as $author_post) :
       setup_postdata($post);
       ?>
       ```
   
 * The results I get is that when I click on an Author’s name, it displays a list
   of the same article from which I clicked the name from. So if the article was
   named ‘Hello World’ and I clicked the authors name, it would display a list of
   15 ‘Hello World’ articles.

 * Hey CombatPost,
 * I’m sorry if I’m misunderstanding what you’re hoping to do, but does [WordPress’ sample author template](http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates#Sample_Template_File)
   provide any insight?
 * Is there something else you’re trying to accomplish that isn’t described in that
   template?

 * Hi,
 * My mistake, I was misreading the sample templates. Got it all working fine now,
   thanks for the replies.

 * Try changing
 *     ```
       setup_postdata($post);
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       setup_postdata($author_post);
       ```
