Get user listings

There is a shortcode you can use, documented here: https://docs.businessdirectoryplugin.com/misc/shortcodes.html

But that requires that you hard-code the username in it. We don’t yet have a shortcode to show the listings of a user when a name is entered.

That’s something we can consider for future development, but not something the plugin allows for today.

I suggest this, to add the listing to the standard author archive page:

/**
 * Add CPTs to author archives
 * 
* @param WP_Query &$this The WP_Query instance (passed by reference).
*/ 
function custom_post_author_archive($query) {
    if ($query->is_author)
    {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array('wpbdp_listing', 'post') );
    }
    remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_author_archive' );
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_author_archive');

Great suggestion @jonathanmoorebcsorg! Thanks for posting it.

It works, thanks!

It is possible to add it to a custom page, to not mix with the posts? Because some member plugins make a new profile page so the author page is no longer used and redirect it to the profile.

Hi @pre20,

I’m not sure I understand your question here–custom page for what? For the listings by a specific author?

Or are you talking about replacing the profile page for the user on the admin dashboard here?

Yes, I’m talking about show the user listings (implement that code) in a custom page like /user-posts instead of the author page.

Or in the user/name, because some plugin memberships replace the default author page by a custom profile page so to show them on it.

OK, we’ll definitely add that to the list for future development.
