thats fixed that, but to get it working with perma links i need to sort htaccess?

hi

WordPress is installed on our dedicated server. If you dont use this theme it still doesn’t work.

to get to the admin panel i go to: https://dev.iceni-tv.co.uk/dsa/wp-login.php

doesn’t work even if i use a default theme.

Below is the navigation code.

<!-- Main Menu -->
    <div id="menu">
        <ul>
            <?php
            // Get array of pages and output with CSS classes to allow for image replacements
            $pages = get_pages('sort_column=menu_order&parent=0');
            foreach ($pages as $key=>$page) {
                ?>
                <li>
                    <a href="<?php echo $page->guid; ?>" title="<?php echo $page->post_title; ?>"
                    class="<?php echo $page->post_name; ?><?php echo (($urlParts[0] == $page->post_name OR ($urlParts[0] == '' AND $page->post_name == 'home')) ? ' selected' : ''); ?>">
                        <?php echo $page->post_title; ?>
                    </a>
                </li>
                <?php
            }
            ?>
        </ul>
    </div>

thanks but reading through that i dont think thats the issue.

if anything is:
dsa/home
dsa/contact

it fails.

always knew it was going to be a simple solution. Just went brain dead. Thanks

try the flutter plugin, it allows on the fly editing.

all seems to be working fine, if i start to have problems i’ll look at alternatives.

Thanks for your help

yeah, i’m running is in another loop.

but i have shortened it and its not doing anything strange to the parent.

<?php
 $polly_current_author = get_the_author_meta('ID'); // assign the variable as current category
 ?>
       <?php

       $recent = new WP_Query('author=' .$polly_current_author. '&cat=3'); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>

this has sorted it

<?php
 $polly_current_author = get_the_author_meta('ID'); // assign the variable as current category
 $query= 'author=' .$polly_current_author. '&cat=3'; // concatenate the query
 query_posts($query); // run the query
 echo $polly_current_author; // check data is been passed
 ?>

I needed get_the_author_meta.

Not sure why its working for me though i’m getting the author ID, honest.

thanks

<?php
if(get_query_var('author_name')) :
    $curauth = get_userdatabylogin(get_query_var('author_name'));
else :
    $curauth = get_userdata(get_query_var('author'));
endif;
?>

    <div>
  Latest News

		 <?php
 $query= 'author=' . $curauth->ID. '&cat=3'; // concatenate the query
 query_posts($query); // run the query
 ?>

more like this even. I’m not displaying this data with the author temple page.

so

<?php
if(get_query_var('author_name')) :
    $curauth = get_userdatabylogin(get_query_var('author_name'));
else :
    $curauth = get_userdata(get_query_var('author'));
endif;
?>

    <div>
  Latest News

		 <?php
 $polly_current_author = $curauth->ID;// assign the variable as current category
 $query= 'author=' .$polly_current_author. '&cat=3'; // concatenate the query
 query_posts($query); // run the query
 echo $polly_current_author; // check data is been passed
 ?>

 <ul>
<?php

      if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        <li>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>">
            <?php the_title(); ?></a>
        </li>

         <?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<!-- End Loop -->

    </ul>
    </div>

redid it to this.

It is definitely echoing the correct author ID its just not passing it into the query.

<?php
 $polly_current_author = the_author_meta('ID'); // assign the variable as current category
 $query= 'author=' .$polly_current_author. '&cat=3'; // concatenate the query
 query_posts($query); // run the query
 echo $polly_current_author; // check data is been passed
 ?>

no doesn’t seem to want to work, very frustrating.

Its not limiting the list of post from cat 3 to just a specific author.

This is been used on a profile page for each author, so i would like to show only there latest news post and not other authors post on the profile page.

thanks for the reply, first one i’ve had from 3 posts.

Doesn’t the_author_meta(‘ID’) get the value.

because the echo $polly_current_author; currently displays the correct author ID.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for this.

Thanks
