Use AJAX Load More in author template

Yes, look at the Ajax Load More examples page in your wordpress admin.

<?php
$author = get_the_author_meta('ID');
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more author="'.$author.'"]');
?>

Didn’t work for me. It is possible it’s because all the author’s posts are in Custom Post Types? Here’s what I’m using:

<?php $author = get_the_author_meta('ID'); echo do_shortcode( '[ajax_load_more author="'.$author.'" post_type="food, film, music" posts_per_page="10" scroll="false" scroll_distance="100" pause="false" button_label="Read More" ]' ); ?>

Can you make sure the value of the author id (get_the_author_meta(‘ID’);) is being returned?

How would I do that?

you’d be able to see the author ID in the source code of the website if you view the console.

DO you know how to do that?

Sort of. I went into the HTML tab of Console looked down the code and this is what I saw where the content should appear for said author:

<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<header class="page-header">
<h1 class="page-title"><span class="">Latest from databell96</span></h1>
</header><!-- .page-header -->
</main><!-- #main -->

I should mention in the body tag it is pulling the author id {author-4) and his or her nickname slug

Can you share a link?

I’m afraid I can’t until sometime tomorrow. That’s when the site is going live with a soft launch. Fortunately, I don’t think the authors areas are going to get a ton of traffic. But still this has to work somehow.

Ok well let me know.
Cheers.

OK, I can share the link now. https://culturepop.com/

Do you have ajax load more on a particular page? I didnt see it a reference to it on the author page.

Go here:

He’s got a lot of posts, but none of them are showing up as you can tell. Probably because they’re all tied into Custom Post Types.

What im saying is the Ajax Load More object is not even on the page.

Right. But it is in the author.php template. Here’s the entire code for that template minus the references to the header, footer, etc.

<div id="primary" class="content-area">
		<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">

	<?php $curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); ?>

			<header class="page-header">
				<h1 class="page-title"><span class="">Latest from <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?></span></h1>
			</header><!-- .page-header -->

        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
            <?php $author = get_the_author_meta('ID'); echo do_shortcode( '[ajax_load_more author="'.$author.'" post_type="food, film, music, art, fashion, photography" posts_per_page="10" scroll="false" scroll_distance="100" pause="false" button_label="Read More" ]' ); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

		</main><!-- #main -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->
