Posts by Author Plugin for WordPress

can we use this plugin by drop down menu list? That is; instead of showing posts by list can we show posts in drop down menu? Thanks.

Hi there!

Love this plugin. I have ONE small problem. I use %A and it does not return anything. Thoughts?
Thanks and Cheers,
Gil

Thanks for the plug-in! That is what I was looking for…
No troubles with the installation and use… It is quite a simple plug-in written with a simple code…
Keep it UP!

Is there a way to show the full post and images ?

Hi,

Your plugin is excellent. But i have a little problem.

On my page: ” about me”, i would like it appears all autors on this page (with their 5 articles).

When i use: Show at the bottom of every post , it’s ok.

but on my section “about me”, only me appears (because i wrote article” !!!!

could you help me ?

Looks awesome. I’ve looked at some other options for this, but this looks pretty simple to implement. Using 2.9.1, so will see how it goes.

Is it possible to get this plugin to list an author’s post but group by category?

Category
- Title
- Title

Category 2
- Title
- Title

And so on?

Here is a way to obtain author profile and ID outside the loop.

like Bfri, this plugin is no longer working no matter what I do. echo, regular, at bottom, not at bottom, inside loop, outside loop, the links are just not showing up. what am i doing wrong? what can i do to fix this problem? is it my .htaccess file? it stopped working after I moved the blog to another folder on my site. help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, now it’s okkk!! =D

Does the plugin work for anybody on WordPress 2.8.5? It doesn’t show any posts for me no matter if I use ‘echo ddpa_show_posts();’ in single.php or turn ‘Show at the bottom of every post’ on.

It did work without problems in previous WordPress versions.

Is there a way I can modify the plugin so that it only lists posts from specified categories? The opposite of the exclude categories feature.

Hi,

How do I rename the text file as php, please?

Great plugin.. very useful one.. works great in my wordpress site version 2.7.1. But i want it to show in sidebar and with the author image with the existing feature as well. Can you pls help me..

I’m using this plugin for our blog
thanks for incredible support.

~cheers

Sorry about that comment. It just isn’t showing on the index page so it IS working.

Thanks!

I searched for a plugin which shows the author name on the post page but this plugin is even better. Thanks for that.

Since I use also a similar posts plugin and wanted to show other author’s posts below I had to turn “Show at the bottom of every post” off and did include it in my single.php template:

<!-- START: show last posts from author -->
<?php echo ddpa_show_posts(); ?>
<!-- END: show last posts from author -->

Great plugin and I am currently using it as part of a website I am currently developing.

I have modified the plugin so that it displays the excerpt from the posts rather than the name, but it works the same none the less.

One question though:

Is there some type of built in Cache for this plugin? The reason I ask is that I made a bunch of test posts today and they are still not showing up in the listing. I have the number of posts to show set at 10 but it is still only showing 2 posts. This is happening regardless of if I use the original plugin files or the one I modified.

Ive played with all relevant plugin settings but have come up with nothing. Ive even tried de-activating it but that does nothing as well.

Any ideas?

I am also having the problem with excluding categories within the settings. This is a nice plugin that I really hope it will get fixed for the latest Wordpress version!

Thank you.

Great plugin. I saw how to use it in the sidebar but is there anyway to use it with a blog that has multiple authors?

Loved the idea of this plugin. sadly i cannot get it 2 work. using wordpress 2.6.1 might have something to do with it. suks =( Im stuck! please update / fix this plugin

I installed it on my WP 2.5.1 but it didn't automatically show the info at the bottom of every post, even though I have had chosen that in the setting. How can that be fixed?

Max,

I modified the ddpa_show_posts function a bit to allow posts by author outside the loop. Take a look at my site to see what I mean, it’s on the right hand side under each author. If you’d like I can email you the chances I made.

Note that I don’t use dates or anything like that, which did make it easier.

Hello, thankyou for this great plugin! Just discovered your site and I look forward to checking things out

I’m having the same problem as Corey… categories are still being included regardless of what I enter in options. It might be handy to know that I am using the plugin to list posts on the author template page only (and not on the actual post pages) using:

Also, page navigation does not work with the plugin. So I have to enter 100 posts as the max number of posts to display (for now) … Is there a way we can use page navigation?

Thanks for your time.

Yes , Max i have tried to find it but no result. You can do that via MT ( Movable Type ) but i like more WP . Lets dearch over the net and please let me know if you find any info ….

Regards
Josef

Hello guys !
I like this plug-in and works very good . I want to ask all of you if you know any plug-ins that can add an extra field to the write post function and to will able to add different name for the post writers . Am running a news magazine website and peoples sending us there articles and are just 2 who manage the whole website.

I will be more than happy for any tips and advice.

Kind regards
Josef

Ok, now I feel dumb. I suppose I should’ve tried the plugin before I commented. It appears as though it does, in fact, work outside the loop for me. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I’m using a different sidebar specifically for my single article page. I used this code…

<?php echo ddpa_show_posts(); ?>

It works perfectly. Thanks!

I’ve just found the answer… maybe someone would like to know….

Kind regards

Hi – - first…nice and helpful plugin…

one question – it is possible to show the date before the permalink? is there any chance?

Greets

Cool little plugin. Thanks!

This plugin will also blow up under WP 2.3 “Other Posts from Cat” by Aleister (http://www.dagondesign.com/). It took me two hours to troubleshoot this!!!

UPDATE: offline it works. Maybe some php configuration?

Hi, I’m having some problems with this plugin. If I activate the plugin I get errors when I create a new post. When I press the button ‘Publish’ I get the following errors:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id AND ID != AND post_status = 'publ' at line 5]
SELECT ID, post_title, post_date, post_category FROM wp_posts, wp_post2cat WHERE post_author = AND wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id AND ID != AND post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_date

Good plugin, but it includes pages within its listing, not just the posts. If you don’t want the pages to show up (like your about page, or your contact page or any other page you create), then simply add AND post_type = ‘post’ within the codes implementation where the SQL query is written.

how can I control where this is output onto single.php? I want to put some share icons before the links and can’t figure out how…

Awesome plugin! It is exactly what I have been looking for! Now I might get a swift kick to the nuts for this but… I just have a syntax question. I am creating a photoblog and want to include the thumbnail images in the “last X posts” lists. With the plugin I am using for the images, the code I use to get a thumbnail in the loop is:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">					
<?php if ($post->image): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $post->image->getThumbnailHref(array('w=100','h=100','q=95','wp=100','hl=100','zc=1')) ?>" alt="<?php the_title() ?>" title="<?php the_title() ?>"  />
<?php endif ?>
</a>

Now what I want to do is have that included in the output section of your plugins code, which I am guessing by looking at the code is:

	if (count($last_posts) > 0) {

		$the_output = NULL;

		$the_output .= $ddpa_header;

		$the_output .= "<ul>";

		foreach ($last_posts as $lpost) {

			$the_output .= '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($lpost->ID) . '">' . $lpost->post_title . '</a>';

			if ($ddpa_show_date) {
				$the_output .= ' - ' . date($ddpa_date_format, strtotime($lpost->post_date));
			}
		
			$the_output .= '</li>';

		}

		$the_output .= "</ul>";

	}

	return $the_output;

}

Now the problem is, that I don’t know PHP syntax. Can somebody throw me a bone here? Thanks in advance. Once again, Awesome plugin!

I’ve used the plugin before and it was fine. New blog using Anaconda theme. Installed the plugin and activated. I’ve played with all the settings, but nothing shows at the bottom of the posts for admin or a test author. Test site above.

[...] posts by author – at the end of a story? | [...]

Hi. This plug seems like I’m half way to my goal. What I want to do is set up a page that:

Finds all of the authors and shows their name plus 5 of their last posts. Kind of like a summary page of all of the authors on the site. If there are no entries for a particular author, then it should skip them.

How would I use this plugin in some type of author loop?

I have WP 2.1.

Thanks

thanks its ok when show every page clicked but doesnt work with manual placement :////// my wp version 2.1

can i show last 3 post in homepage i tried but doesnt show, how can i

Thanks from Turkey.

I want run plugin in a different file, not in wordpress

Example:
I uploaded allpostlists.php to server
I want run in (http://arastiralim.com/allpostlists.php)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ddpa_show_posts()

please help

Thanks, Admin! You’re awesome.

Hi Admin!
Great plugin. Would it be possible to throw the list into another part of the page, for example, in a sidebar? I tried but of course, it only came out as a comment. Did i miss an instruction somewhere? Thanks for all your help!

Hi, I’ve enabled the plugin but don’t see it showing up on the page. Is it set to exclude admin entries automatically? All posts currently are by the admin user…

Awesome Admin! It’s working excellently… now all I have to do is upgrade so that Nicknames are used instead of the admin default! Great plugin I’ll mention it on our webmaster help forum and my next blog post!

Thanks~

NeO

Hey Admin,

I’m currently using v1.5.2 and will upgrade that soon…I have to upgrade my WHM first Any quick fixes for the time being?

Thanks

NeO

Hey all,

Any chance that someone could take a look @ my blog and tell me what’s going on with this error?

WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'display_name' in 'field list']
SELECT display_name FROM wp_users WHERE ID = 3 LIMIT 1

I’ve just gained a new author @ my blog and wanted to be able to use a plugin that will show who’s posting what… I’ll leave this up for the rest of the day then I have to pull it so it doesn’t look busted

Thanks in Advance,

NeO

nice! now that really is lookin’ good. Let me know when you want ideas for 1.5…

Good job bud, proud to use it.

http://geeklimit.com/technocrat/last-10-posts/

also, note that the plugin displays the author’s login ID, instead of their preferred display name… just fyi…

Thanks – I do appreciate it.

Hi there. It wasn’t producing any content, so no visual errors.

Which versions of WP is this for?

Trying 1.5 and no luck.

That would be awesome! I’d love to see it work manually, where I’d just need to put something like to get it to work.

And yes, fixing it so the current post creates a bullet item would be nice, too.

I really want to use this plugin and would be very happy to do so if you can fix it so that it doesn’t break the comments!

This plugin seems to interfere with display of comments. When you click the comments link, you are taken to the single post page with the post and the rencent posts by author but no comments are displayed.

I had to disable it to get comments working again. Since the plugin doesn’t allow you to manually place where it goes, this is a disaster.

OK, nevermind, I see that this automatically happens when you view a post by clicking its title. Is there someway to exclude a specific category of post (home) from being listed in the last x posts?
