Is this meant to work with Wordpress 2.9? I’ve tried calling it with the plug-in options, within posts and via php in the template but no go …

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.

Awesome – works perfectly – saved me a lot of time!!! Thank you so much.

Are you interested in developing a custom plugin for payment?

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?

Hi there,
Thank you this great plugin for WordPress I have installed and its working terrific . But I have an issue: Since my template is calling most of the widgets directly by code.(calling the proper php class) I’m not able to put this one between two other widgets. Is there Any way to call the widget directly from the template?

Such as:
echo dd-posts-by-author;

Thank you

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

The plugin worked great for a week or so. A few posts were added after the plugin was installed but today my new post did not display. What could be the problem?

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.

Works like an absolute treat, took the text, popped it into a blank php file, saved and uploaded it, activated and it worked STRAIGHT AWAY!!

Thank you soooooo much

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.

This plugin has been tested, and works, in the latest release of WordPress – 2.8

Josh: Assuming you are using a recent version of WP, replace the last instances of this line in the script:

{$exclude_check}

With this:

 AND ( {$tp}term_taxonomy.term_id == 10 
OR {$tp}term_taxonomy.term_id == 20 
OR {$tp}term_taxonomy.term_id == 30 )

Where 10, 20, and 30 are the categories you want to include, etc..

Alan: Should be. Just modify this line so it assigns the user ID of the logged in user:

$c_author_id = $post->post_author;

I do not recall the variable for it off hand, but it is in the WP documentation.

Others

The plugin will not work outside the loop, because the ID of the current author only exists within the loop. Outside the loop, WP does not ‘know’ who the author of the page being viewed is. There are methods to allow this to happen, but the plugin does not currently support this feature.

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,

Is it possible to alter the plugin so it displays the latest posts from the currently logged in user?

I would like to add this to my sidebar.

Thanks!!
