[Resolved] Author page not showing custom posts?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I am having an issue with my custom post type not showing on the author page.

Solution:

To show custom post types on the author page, create a custom author archive page using Toolset Views.

This allows you to choose which post types should be included. Follow the guide on customizing WordPress Archives:
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/customize-post-archives/

Additionally, go to Toolset > Post Types, select the post type in question, and under the "Sections to display when editing" section, make sure to check the "Author" checkbox.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a custom post type and published some posts also. Now in my author page the custom posts aren't showing. Please help.
Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi there,

By default, WordPress author archives, only list Posts and not the other custom post types.

You can create a custom author archive page using Toolset Views, which will give you the control to choose which post types should be included.

Here is a guide on customizing WordPress Archives:
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/customize-post-archives/

Also please go to Toolset > Post Types, select the post type in question and under the Sections to display when editing section makes sure you check the Author checkbox.

Thanks.

I couldn't understand this las line 'Also please go to Toolset > Post Types, select the post type in question and under the Sections to display when editing section makes sure you check the Author checkbox.' Can you provide me a screen shot?

Sure. Please check the screenshot.

The screenshot is taken from Toolset > Post Types.

Post type edit screen.

If the issue continues for you, I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website.
It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore.

Make sure you set the next reply as private.
