Goraszka, did you find a way eventually to do that?

Hi, I have the same problem, first (featured) video also shows as the first video thumbnail…

If I use .ytccell-1 {display: none;} to remove it, then it’s the whole column that goes away, and not only the first video…

Any help? Thanks!

If it’s not possible to get more post per author, would it be at least possible to get the excerpt of the post?

Here is the code:

// function located in the theme's functions.php
function wpse_78117_print_authors_last_post()
{
    $user_ids = array( '1', '2' );
    foreach( $user_ids as $user )
    {
        $args = array(
                'post_type'     => 'post',
                'numberposts'   => 1,
                'author'        => $user
            ); 

        // as we are getting only 1 post, extract it from the returned array
        $user_post = array_shift( get_posts( $args ) );

        // similar
        $nick = array_shift( get_user_meta( $user, 'nickname' ) );

        // custom output, $user_post contains all the post normal data
        echo $user_post->post_title . ', by: ' . $nick;
    }
}

Thanks!

Tara, it doesn’t work. I tried all kind of order.

It doesn’t work because the filter is only on user name / author, so any other order you specify won’t work.

But if you tried to modify it using some info from the links you provide, please share the working results 🙂
