Sorting post index by users you're following using wp_query

  • I have it so on my site any user can submit posts. What I’m trying to do is sort posts by all the users that the user is following. Is it possible to sort posts in this way? I read your Github wiki I tried this wondering if it would work:

    <?php
			$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 6, 'post_type' => 'images', 'user_id' => bp_get_following_ids( ));
			$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
			while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
				the_title();
				echo '<div class="entry-content">';
				the_content();
				echo '</div>';
			endwhile;
			?>

    No luck though.

    The plugin works awesome and thank you for any help I may receive ??

  • I have a very similar question so i post in your topic.
    Iam trying to show only the posts of users that a user is following

    if ( bp_has_activities( array(
                         'user_id' => bp_get_following_ids()
                        ) ) ) :

                      $args = array('user_id' => bp_get_following_ids());
                      $loop = new WP_Query($args);

		      while ( $loop -> have_posts() ) :
					$loop -> the_post();

    This custom loop i am trying to pass has not any results. It just shows all posts. What am i missing?
    Thank you in advance for any help, and ofcourse thank you for this beautiful plugin you made!

    @hitkid – You’re using the wrong parameter in your WP_Query call.

    View:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Author_Parameters

    Use 'author' and combine with bp_get_following_ids().

    Make sure you add in the user_id parameter for bp_get_following_ids().

    For example:

    'author' => bp_get_following_ids( array(
    // change 3 to the user ID you want
    'user_id' => 3
) ),
