  • Hey!
    I use this plugin on some of our news portals (and have sent donations in past); and today while doing some custom coding for “show me the last 5 posts by the same author bottom of page” stuff, it occurred to me that a lighter version of CRP for “more by this author” would be super nifty (hint hint).

    On a new project, we want to do the same thing we normally do with CRP, but in this setup only show related content from the SAME author as the current post.

    Probably an API hook to do this, but no idea how to do that without a for dummies example, and then I can hack away….

    Cheers, and thanks again for the awesome plugin. 🙂

    (put another way, I’m doing my own setup in functions.php for query the echo’ing that in my particular single.php file and adding some custom CSS. After doing all that, I thought — sheesh, wish I could have just done this in CRP!) 🙂

    In theory you could do this with CRP, although it might actually have been easier to have done this, as you did, within WordPress itself.

    It’s might be the case of filtering our the crp_where clause to add the option to limit by Author. However, you do have the issue of it applying globally in that case which is good if you have a lot of posts by the same author but bad if you have few posts
