shortcode param filter and show slider by author

Hi @barceloch if it’s image sliders, there’s no built-in function yet to filter by author. What you can do, if there’s just a few authors is:

• Create slideshow for each author
• update your theme’s author.php – the template for the Author Page and add the code like this:

//8 as author id
if( is_author('8'); ) {
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id="123"]'); ?>
}

if( is_author('12'); ) {
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id="456"]'); ?>
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answers, in the end what I have done is add a custom field to the user to assign a slider, then in author.php

$slider = get_user_meta( $author_id, 'user_slider', true );
<?php echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id="'.$slider.'"]'); ?>

Awesome, thanks for using MetaSlider, @barceloch
