Show link to authors last post => support custom post types?

Yes but you are going to have to do some coding ??

Have look at this fliter

https://authoravatars.wordpress.com/documentation/filters/filter-aa_user_show_last_post_query/

You will need to change the post_type to something like ‘post_type’ => array(‘posts’, ‘events’) so you get the latest post from both post types

I hope this helps

Hi Paul

Thanks. I haven’t coded anything – yet, but would like to try.

I guess you are talking about this:

add_filter( 'aa_user_show_last_post_query', 'aa_user_show_last_post_query', 10, 2 );
function aa_user_show_last_post_query( $query, $user_id ){
$query['category_name'] = 'new, uncategorized'; // addjut as needed
return $query;
}

So here’s a wild guess ?? :

add_filter( 'aa_user_show_last_post_query', 'aa_user_show_last_post_query', 10, 2 );
function aa_user_show_last_post_query( $query, $user_id ){
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'event', 'topic' ) );
return $query;
}

Will my site and all of the WWW go into WSOD with this code? ??

Which plugin file do I edit and put in my theme?

Put the code in your theme or child theme if you didn’t create the the theme ( or create a plugin ) e.g. in code that you own

try $query[‘post_type’] = array( ‘post’, ‘event’, ‘topic’ );

As I think this is an array this is being passed

Paul

Thanks again, Paul. I put this code in my functions.php:

add_filter( 'aa_user_show_last_post_query', 'aa_user_show_last_post_query', 10, 2 );
function aa_user_show_last_post_query( $query, $user_id ){
$query[‘post_type’] = array( ‘post’, ‘event’, ‘topic’ );
return $query;
}

.. but it just breaks the list – it doesn’t show on my pages.

Well, showing custom post types is only icing on the cake, so I won’t bother you anymore with this.

Best, Lars

the quotes‘’ look wrong change them for ‘

look up how to use var_dump()

var_dump($query);
