Love this plugin but we also have this issue and recommend that the developer release an update ASAP to patch this vulnerability.

Thanks

Hi @wpkube ,

First, apologies for my typos in the original post.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately on this occasion this doesn’t present the solution we need, although it is an interesting one, and no doubt useful for others.

I was perhaps not clear enough in my description so I will try to simplify:

Using this following code results in a correct list of authors, each one hyperlinks to an archive of their posts.

[authors_list ?style="1" columns="3" amount="50" show_count="no" orderby="last_name" order="ASC"?skip_empty="yes" show_bio="no" show_avatar="no" roles="pmpro_role_1" show_link="no"]

This works perfectly. Except…

What we need now is to restrict the resulting posts of that archive to be from only one category, instead of ALL of the posts, that they have published.

I have read through a lot of this forum and realise that this is not possible and we need to think outside of the box.

Thanks for your help, I’ll return here and post our solution as and when.

Meanwhile we’ll be using it as it’s the best plugin so far that ticks most of the boxes we need. And the support is good as well as it being kept up-to-date.

Thanks!

Thank you! Apologies for writing in the Frontier Post instead of Query.
Looking forward to hearing about updates.
Thanks again, as I said this plugin has been so good for us so far.

Hi, yes it’s a cool plugin indeed!

I’d also like to ask pre-sales questions and read about the PRO version, however I am unable to browse these URLs. I’m using Firefox.

https://perishablepress.com/
https://plugin-planet.com/

I have no problems viewing other sites. The error I get is:

Your connection is not secure

The website tried to negotiate an inadequate level of security.

plugin-planet.com uses security technology that is outdated and vulnerable to attack. An attacker could easily reveal information which you thought to be safe. The website administrator will need to fix the server first before you can visit the site.

Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY

Not sure if it’s me but in case I thought I’d give you a heads up.

Thanks
