    Hello.

    Currently I’m trying to display posts by the author’s id and according to query_post this code should work, could chance i’m missing something.

    Can somebody help

    get_header();
?>

    <div>
  Latest News
      <ul>
		<?php $polly_current_author = the_author_meta('ID');

        //testing purposes
		echo $polly_current_author;

		query_posts("cat=3&author=$polly_current_author"); ?>
<?php

      if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        <li>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>">
            <?php the_title(); ?></a>
        </li>

         <?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<!-- End Loop -->

    </ul>
    </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

  • apljdi well spotted, i totally missed the fact we should of been using get_the_author_meta() so the value isn’t echoed…

    You can check if you’re in the loop (if requireed).
    in_the_loop();

    If this is a second loop, you might need to reset the query before declaring another query_posts.

    all seems to be working fine, if i start to have problems i’ll look at alternatives.

    Thanks for your help
