List All Posts For Each Co-Author

Hi,

From the documentation here is how to List Posts By A Co-Author

List Posts By A Co-Author

When using Co-Authors Plus, you may want to create a listing of all posts by a given co-author. Co-Authors Plus deviates slightly from how core WordPress works in that it stores byline information in a custom ‘author’ taxonomy. It works in this manner because a post (let it be a Post, Page, or Custom Post Type) can have multiple taxonomy terms associated with it.

To list some or all posts from a co-author, you’ll want to create a new WP_Query object based on the author term for a given user or guest author. Here’s an example of what that might look like:

// Build the query arguments
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'author_name' => $user_login,
);
$author_query = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $author_query->have_posts() ) :
    while ( $author_query->have_posts() ) : $author_query->the_post();

    // Do your presentation

    endwhile;
endif;

Where $user_login should be the user’s slug. In my case:

$curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author));

'author_name' => $curauth->user_login,

Hi all,

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I’m having a similar issue to this. I tried the code you pasted but it doesn’t seem to display anything now. I am trying to put this in the author.php file (having to setup multiple queries in this template).

$current_author = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author));

<?php // Build the query arguments
					$args = array(
					    'post_type' => 'post',
					    'posts_per_page' => 3,
					    'cat' => 82,
					    'post_status' => 'publish',
					    'author_name' => $current_author->user_login,
					);
				$author_query = new WP_Query( $args );

				if ( $author_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $author_query->have_posts() ) : $author_query->the_post();

    // Do your presentation
    ?>

				<div class="row more-bottom-margin">
					<div class="column small-12 medium-4">
						<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'small' ); ?>
					</div>
					<div class="column small-12 medium-8 more-bottom-margin">
						<h3 class="no-top-margin"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

						<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>

						<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More</a></p>
					</div>
				</div>
				<?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Right now it’s not displaying anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
