 * Hello,
 * I am trying to get the posts from a logged in user.
 * This code displays the user that is logged in and the user id.
 *     ```
       if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
   
       global $current_user;
             get_currentuserinfo();
   
           echo 'Welcome, registered user!';
       echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . "\n";
       } else {
           echo 'Welcome, visitor!';
       };
       ```
   
 * Welcome, registered user!User ID: 1
 * How can I get all the posts that the user with the ID:1 has posted?
    Thank you

       <?php
       if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
   
       global $current_user;
             get_currentuserinfo();
   
       echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . "\n";
   
       //The Query
       query_posts('author=2');
   
       //The Loop
       if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       the_title();
       echo "<br>";
       endwhile; else:
       echo "The user has not contributed anything!";
       endif;
   
       //Reset Query
       wp_reset_query();
   
       } else {
           echo 'Welcome, visitor!';
       };
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Ok .. this is what I have so far. I have one problem here: query_posts(‘author
   =2’); How do I replace the 2 with the current user ID?
