[Resolved] List Custom Post Types Posts on Author page

Hello
I'm trying to display custom post types posts on the author page (the default one from wp that is listing posts written by the author). Is there any options that Toolset is providing for this?

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You can use the function below in order to do this.

<?php 

    function post_types_author_archives($query) {
        if ($query->is_author)
                // Add 'books' CPT and the default 'posts' to display in author's archive
                $query->set( 'post_type', array('books', 'posts') );
        remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_author_archive' );
    }
    add_action('pre_get_posts', 'post_types_author_archives');
    
?>

What you need to do is add the slug for the post type in array. Then add the following to the Toolset Custom code section in Toolset->Settings ->Custom Code and then activate it.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

I'm using the Astra theme, but when I put this code in it's functions.php file or when I activate the Custom Code in Toolset it gives me a database error.

Hello,

Can you allow me to have admin access to the site so that I can have a look at this for you ?

I've enabled the private fields for your next response.

Thanks,

Hello,

I added the code to the site and included the slugs for your post types in the code and it worked fine.
