Posts by user on profile page with wordpress loop

[andy999]

Ahmed, is there a way to get the posts by the user on their profile page? I guess their ID has got to be stored in a global variable on the profile page, so can I use that to modify the wordpress loop with query_posts?

<?php
$paged = get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ? get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) : 1;

query_posts( array(???????????????????????), ‘paged’ => $paged, ) );

?>

Get me? 😀

Use this to get User ID dynamically on profile page 🙂

$user_id = userpro_get_view_user( get_query_var(‘up_username’) );

then use it like so ‘author’=> $user_id 😉

Surely it needs to be CSS’d too 😀

[admin]

Yes. 🙂

I can’t get it to work with pagination. :/

<?php

$user_id = userpro_get_view_user( get_query_var(‘up_username’) );

$paged = get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ? get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) : 1;

query_posts( array( ‘author’=> $user_id , ‘paged’ => $paged, ) );

?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>

<?php
get_template_part( ‘standard-post’ );
?>

<?php endwhile;?>

<?php endif; ?>

Ok after some testing I’ve realised that I can’t paginate posts on the profile page properly.

For some reason it isn’t working with the Userpro permalink settings.

If I create a custom page template with that code and have the profile link be /profile-page/username it works fine, but as soon as I update the settings in userpro to that URL pagination fails.

Why is this??

[admin]

What settings for permalink are conflicting with this?

[andy999]

Whatever page userpro is set as the profile page > pagination fails.

On other pages with the same template, pagination works.

[admin]

What’s the conflict exactly? the query parameter in URL?

[andy999]

I think so.

See if I take my template >

<?php

$user_id = userpro_get_view_user( get_query_var(‘up_username’) );

$paged = get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ? get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) : 1;

query_posts( array( ‘author’=> $user_id , ‘paged’ => $paged, ) );

?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>

<?php if ( has_post_format( ‘video’ )) {
get_template_part( ‘video-post’ );
}elseif ( has_post_format( ‘image’ )) {
get_template_part( ‘image-post’ );
} else {
get_template_part( ‘standard-post’ );
}

?>

<?php endwhile;?>

<?php endif; ?>

And create a page called ‘profile-page’ with userpro template [userpro template=view] in it, pagination works!

As soon as I go to userpro settings and update the page permalinks to use the slug profile-page, pagination fails again.

So, pagination works on the profile page UNLESS userpro is set to use that page slug as it’s profile page url, which is kind of annoying 😀

[admin]

Yes. I think the problem is with custom rewrite rules that need to be added to profile/ page.

[andy999]

Solution or will this require an update to UP?

[andy999]

Ahmed? 😀

[test]

testing a reply.

[andy999]

Ahmed! 🙂

@Robin

This would get posts with the standard wordpress loop, useful for developers or anyone familiar with wordpress’s template system.
