Co Authors Plus taxonomy ‘author’ is attached to the post_type ‘guest-author’. The tax_query looks up ‘term_relationship’ table for posts by assigned coauthor_id (post_id) from the ‘term_taxonomy_id’ matched by taxonomy = ‘author’ and term_id = ‘$person->ID’. I’m not sure the $person->ID you obtain is a guest-author or a user.

/**
 * WP_Query args setting
 * @link https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/
 */
$args = array(
	/* to search all post types, set to 'any' 
	 * or omit, defaults to 'any' when tax_query is set
	 * or limit multiple values with array( 'video', 'post' )
	 */
	'post_type'      => 'video', 
	'post_status'    => 'publish',  //omit, default is 'publish'
	'posts_per_page' => 3,
	'tax_query' => array( array( 
		'taxonomy' => 'author',
		'field'    => 'term_id',
		'terms'    => $person->ID,
	) ) 
);

I can’t edit or delete the previous reply. I made an error in the query args on the the author key. That is for standard user.

if ( is_author() )
  $post_id = get_queried_object_id();

$coauthors = get_coauthors( $post_id );
if ( ! $coauthors ) return;

foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ) {

  $posts = new WP_Query( array(
      'orderby'   => 'date',
      'order'     => 'DESC',
      'tax_query' => array( array(
          'taxonomy' => 'author',
          'field'    => 'name',
          'terms'    => $coauthor->user_nicename,
      ) )
    ) );

  if ( ! $posts->have_posts() ) continue;

  while ( $posts->have_posts() ) : $posts->the_post();
  ?>

  <div class="entry-summary">
    <figure class="post-thumbnail">
      <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
      <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'article_archive' ); ?>
      </a>
    </figure>
  </div>

  <?php
  endwhile;
  wp_reset_postdata();
}

$posts = new WP_Query( array(
  'author'  => get_queried_object_id(),
  'orderby' => 'date',
  'order'   => 'DESC',
) );

if ( $posts->have_posts() ) :
  while ( $posts->have_posts() ) : $posts->the_post();
  ?>

  <div class="entry-summary">
    <figure class="post-thumbnail">
      <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'article_arhive' ); ?></a>
    </figure>
  </div>

  <?php
  endwhile;
  wp_reset_postdata();
endif;

// Check if guest authors enabled
if ( is_guest_authors_enabled() ) {
  
  // Get author(s) of post, assign letter value s if count greater than 1, else empty
  $S = 1 < count( get_coauthors() ) ? 's' : '';

  // Set string with label, value of $S, and author name(s) with link
  $authors = "Author{$S} " . coauthors_posts_links( null, null, null, null, false );

  // select output type and delete the other
  echo $authors;  <or>  return $authors; 
}

Guest Author “ID” are $post->ID. Guest author is a custom post-type and saved as post data. The author field’s are saved as post-meta.

If you are on the author archive page:

$post_id = get_queried_object_id();
$authorTwitter = get_field( 'authorTwitter', $post_id );
echo "<i class=\"social-icon fab fa-twitter fa-2x\"></i> <a href=\"$authorTwitter\">@twitter</a>";

In your instance, for the social media fields, it would have been more efficient to have created the fields through a function that filters the guest author fields. That way the standard call for the author’s meta data would have included those additional social media fields. Now, you have to make two separate calls to get all the guest author’s data.

Great!

It’s an invaluable lesson; initially work within the theme construction ( markup, navigation, etc.) when customizing the look and feel. Once you understand it, alterations become much quicker, more predictable and the most important; upgrading won’t be a nightmare.

The scroll-to jquery function called on the front page menu bar.
/template-parts/header/site-branding.php

if statement check three conditions
-is it twentyseventeen_is_frontpage() OR
-is the blog page set to front page AND
-if either is true, is there a nav menu with the location ‘top’?
-then show ( ‘icon’ => ‘arrow-right’ )

The scroll-to jquery function
/assets/js/global.js

-find a class value “menu-scroll-down”
$menuScrollDown = $body.find( ‘.menu-scroll-down’ )
-function

$menuScrollDown.click( function( e ) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $( window ).scrollTo( '#primary', {
        uration: 600
      , offset: { top: menuTop - navigationOuterHeight }
     });
});

Now that you know how to trigger the function and the target of the function, you can reuse. You only need the class name “menu-scroll-down” to fire function.

In Menu, screen options show class. Add the class name to the menu item.
On section page, you need to add the corresponding ID name at the location of the target. It can be as simple as, text mode, <h2 id=”your_anchor_name”>Text</h2> or use a transparent img.png, and add the id value to it, with less chance of being accidently deleted in an edit.

Normally, a function is written to conditional check which navigation menu with the properly constructed target URI to load. You probably need to add the absolute URI domain.com/#anchor_name on the menu links.

To have a “pretty url” simple link you change this

$postContent = wp_trim_words( $post->post_content, 55, $permalink );

to something like this:

$postContent = wp_trim_words( $post->post_content, 55, ' [...] <a href="'.$permalink.'">Read More »</a>');
