Query_posts for author

  • I want to make a side by side blog, similar to this one : https://otoh.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome

    How do I show posts by author?
    How do I show categories for the author only?
    How can I make the Single.php page look different if it’s only a certain author?
    Since it’s a side by side blog, is there a way to make 1 side of the blog change pages if someone clicked “next page” and not change pages for the other side? I think it would need ajax, but can someone give me a hand?

    Any suggestions for this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Also, is there a way to make a certain author automatically post to the category made for him/her?

    Please try searching the site before posting:

    Look at template tags:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/

    posts by author:
    query_posts(‘author=1&order=ASC’);

    posts by author and category 1, 2 & 3:
    query_posts(‘author=1&cat=1,2,3’);

    as for making single.php looking different per author, try looking at:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Conditional_Tags

    As for a side by side blog, I don’t know what you’re talking about. That blog looks like any ther blog to me, it has one verticle list of posts (in IE7)

    For making authors posting to certain categories, try looking at various role management plugins and author category assignment plugins
