Custom post author’s archive URL discrepancy in Kleo

[leloosh]

Please refer to screenshot and this live site page:  http://libanville.com/user-post  (Custom User Post Archive Page)

There is a discrepancy between #1 & #2:

——————————————–  #1
Kleo’s custom type archive lists the custom posts in a masonry grid, each custom post in this grid has a link to the custom post’s author archive as:
http://libanville.com/author/%username%

Also the right sidebar (SRP Special Recent Posts Pro plugin) has also custom post’s author archive links to:
http://libanville.com/author/%username%

See where red arrows are pointing to in screenshot.

——————————————–  #2
The author’s ACTUAL archive on the other hand resides in:
http://libanville.com/%custom-post-type-name%/author/%username%

a live site example is at:
http://libanville.com/user-post/author/christian

Obviously if you use the authors archive’s links in the theme’s masonry grid you will get a 404 page error.

Interesting Note: I also have on the website a section for REGULAR POSTS not CUSTOM POSTS:
http://libanville.com/lebanon-fashion-beauty
But the link to their author archive (View All Posts by ….)  seems to work fine:
http://libanville.com/author/editor

How can the CUSTOM POST’s AUTHOR ARCHIVE LINK be resolved?

I didn’t get what’s the page you have the issue with the 404 error, can you give us a link example to such page ?

Go to the archive page for custom post type: user-post

http://libanville.com/user-post

Click on “A Film Noir” – “View All Posts by Christian” ***** SEE SCREENSHOT *****

Clicking will send you to an empty page (Author Archive for: Christian):
http://libanville.com/author/christian

When actually Christian’s Archive is in:
libanville.com/user-post/author/christian

There’s the discrepancy!

Well,

The main/default author archive is the one ( http://libanville.com/author/christian ), the links to your custom post type author archive is an optional link, it works because it knows under what post type to look for posts.

The main author archive by default won’t include any custom post types, that’s why it won’t list anything.

I think the best approach in your case would be to find a small piece of code to make your archive listing include your custom post types. Here are some examples: http://designpx.com/tutorials/custom-post-types-author-archive/

Please note that this is the default way wordpress works, and is nothing influenced by our theme.

The problem with extending WP as a CMS with custom posts that things DO NOT WORK right out of the box and it needs to be tweaked for even something as basic as an author’s archive using a custom post type.

I tried the example in your link in my child’s functions.php and it didn’t work.

I’m not a PHP programmer so I would probably need to use the services of WPFIXIT.com or try freelancer.com

Thanks anyway.

[Andrei]

Indeed, wp can be extended and used as a full cms solution, but often will require custom developments.

In this case I have added and tested the code and it works, maybe you forgotten to clear the cache after applying the code. Also please be sure you don’t have any plugins active that you don’t use because it might slow down your site.

Cheers

Thanks Andrei,

This is the code I used from your link referral:

COPY CODE

function custom_post_author_archive($query) {
    if ($query->is_author)
        $query->set( 'post_type', function custom_post_author_archive($query) {
    if ($query->is_author)
        $query->set( 'post_type', array('wp_plugin_review', 'client', 'post') );
    remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_author_archive' );
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_author_archive'); );
    remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_author_archive' );
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_author_archive');

I want to display the author archive who uses a custom post type “submit-post” as slug, so I think I replaced in the code array(‘wp_plugin_review’, ‘client’, ‘post’) with submit-post.

Is that similar to what you did?

[Andrei]

You can see the function i used in kleo-child/functions.php at the end of the file.

Cheers

Oh I see you changed it ON MY WEBSITE, I thought you tried it somewhere else.

I see the change now.

Thanks a lot Andrei!

[Andrei]

Yeah, your custom post type should be included now into the default author archive as well.

The pleasure was mine, Cheers

Can you please let the forum know of the change you needed to make this code work? Thank you
