Query special post in author.php

  • In the author profile we habe all his posts as a list. Every author can have his own guestbook by writing a post in category guestbook. Now I want to query the guestbook outside the loop.

    I tried 

    <ul>
<?php
 global $post;
 $myposts = get_posts('category=40');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
 setup_postdata($post);
 ?>
<li><a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
 </ul>

    but with this I get the guestbook-links of all authors in the profile of each author.

    How can I get only the guestbook-post of the current author in the current author’s profile?

    Thanks
    Rita

  • Try:

    <?php
$author = get_userdata(get_query_var('author'));
$mypost = new WP_Query('showposts=1&cat=40&author=' . $author->ID);
if($mypost) : $mypost->the_post();
?>
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>

    Hi, it’s me again.

    Is there any chance to get the contend AND the comments of the post together with the title? I tried and was able to get the contend, but not the comments.

    Thanks,
    Rita
