 * Hi there,
 * I am wondering how set some custom post types for authors of posts. I need to
   add some social links and a cover image (not profile one) and maybe more stuff.
   I do not want to use plugins for author box, we use Type calling it from pure
   PHP.
 * BTW We love your plugin 🙂
 * Best

 * I could use help with this too.
 * I used this function before with another Custom Post Type plugin, and it worked–**
   however it does not work with this plugin**
 * function custom_post_author_archive( &$query )
    { if ( $query->is_author ) $query-
   >set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘articles’, ‘premiumvideos’, )); remove_action(‘
   pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_post_author_archive’ ); // run once! } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’,‘
   custom_post_author_archive’ ); `
