    Hi

    I have been trying to get this to work for a while now but everything i have tried seems to not work 100%. Currently i have the first 5 post titles displaying and then i have a show more button set up to display the next 5.

    The code i am using for the first 5 is:

    <?php
$current_author = get_query_var('author');
$author_posts=  get_posts( 'author=2&posts_per_page=5' );
if($author_posts){
echo '<ul class="author-articles">';
foreach ($author_posts as $author_post)  {
 echo '
<li><a>ID).'">'.$author_post->post_title . mysql2date('j M Y', $post->post_date);'</a>  </li>
';
}
echo '';
}
?>

    And then to try and get the 6th to 10th post i have tried to change
    $author_posts= get_posts( ‘author=2&posts_per_page=5’ );

    to

    $author_posts= query_posts('author=2&showposts=10&offset=6');

    But it will generate the titles and then display the content of each post as well which i dont want

    Any help is appreciated

  • Hi,

    I had a similar situation some time back and I found the link below really helpful:

    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/11578/custom-page-links-for-paginated-posts-wp-link-pages-nextpage-quicktag/11588#11588

    See if that solves the problem.

    Hi tsure,

    Thanks for the help but doesn’t look like what I need

    @sam_tutt So you want only the link for the next 5 posts. ?

    Dont worry i solved the problem

    In the second lot of code i had query_post instead of get post

    My code now looks like this:

    <?php
$current_author = get_query_var('author');
$author_posts=  get_posts( 'author=2&posts_per_page=5' );
if($author_posts){
echo '<ul class="author-articles">';
foreach ($author_posts as $author_post)  {
 echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($author_post->ID).'">'.$author_post->post_title . mysql2date('j M Y', $post->post_date);'</a>  </li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>

<div>
Show More
</div>

<div>
<?php
$current_author = get_query_var('author');
$author_posts=  get_posts('author=2&posts=10&offset=6');
if($author_posts){
echo '<ul class="author-articles">';
foreach ($author_posts as $author_post)  {
 echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($author_post->ID).'">'.$author_post->post_title . mysql2date('j M Y', $post->post_date);'</a>  </li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>

    I have got it to work where you click the show more button and shows the other 5 posts!

    Thanks for all of your help!
