Author archive and Categories

    Hi,

    Is there a definitive answer for including the Author into a site’s Author Archive page and to be able to show the Categories associated with the CPT?
    I’ve been looking but am not sure… I’ve tried:

    add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_get_posts' );
function my_get_posts( $query ) {
if ( is_author() ) {
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'kates-chat' ) );
}
return $query;
}

    but that also added eveything to the main site menu so that’s no good.

    Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks,
    Richard

    Clarifying so I know how to best answer.

    You’re viewing the author archive, and you want to make sure your custom post type posts, from kates-chat, are included in the listing?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you very much for your quick reply.
    Yes, your right in your understanding.

    (I’m also wondering what is the best way to display the categories – that I’ve assigned to the CPT – in the Category archives.)

    Many thanks, Richard

    The snippet above, as far as I’m aware, should work, or is at least close. May want to try $query->is_author() for the if statement.

    You’ll need to do a similar thing for the category archives to get them included, and you should be able to handle that with the snippet above.

    if ( is_author() || is_category() )

    as an example. Amend as necessary with the "$query->" part.

    Hope that helps or at least gives better direction.
