Displaying “by <author>” next to list of recent posts

Might have to resort to something like this instead:

<?php
$posts=get_posts('showposts=10');
if ($posts) {
foreach($posts as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?></small>
<?php }
}
?>

Thanks Michael

That worked a treat!

This is actually causing a problem on my blog, it for some reason only displays the most recent post on the “single-post” page?

I’m not sure what a solution for that would be?

Guessing you have a Conditional Tags test, where you put that code, that is causing that.

I used the WordPress Default theme and in wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php I put that code just before:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>

Hmm, I can’t see any conditional tags in the sidebar or on the main index.

Do you have any idea what I need to do to rectify it as I can’t see anything obvious!

Thanks again

Link to download theme you are using?

2 Column Right Sidebar

Thanks!

Hi again,

Don’t mean to bug you, I’m just eager to get this sorted!

Thanks again for your help.

Not seeing the problem on main page, single post pages, category/date archive pages, or Pages.

Download a new version of that theme if necessary.

I put the code above in sidebar.php just before:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>

This is very confusing, I’ve just reinstalled a fresh download of the theme.

I’ve immediately inserted the code just where you stated and I get the same error.

It will only display the most recent post instead of the post that has been clicked on.

Plugins?

I disabled them all had the same issue.

I probably should have posted you a link before but it’s not active yet I am just finalising it.

but you can have a look here

It’s probably something I have done, but it’s not standing out to me.

Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated!

Don’t quite understand what’s happening but here your contact page directs to https://www.dpadmagazine.com/contact/ and in page source I see reference to wp-content/themes/arthemi

The header is taken off the main site, with the menu corresponding to elements of that.

It shouldn’t however effect the workings of the blog as the menu has been hand coded to link back to the main site.

What am I missing?

This links show the recent posts:
https://www.blog.dpadmagazine.com/
https://www.blog.dpadmagazine.com/2009/02/09/bioshock/
https://www.blog.dpadmagazine.com/author/admin/

Your nav bar (e.g. like Subscribe) direct you NOT to your WordPress blog, but to https://www.dpadmagazine.com/ and that is evidently another blog that uses a different theme.
