Author of CPTs

Hi Raul,

Give this PHP snippet a try:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_cpt_author_archives' );
function add_cpt_author_archives( $query ) {
	
	if ( ! $query->is_main_query() || is_admin() || ! is_author() ) {
		return;
	} 

	$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'movie' ) ); 
}

Replace moviewith your CPT slug.

Thank you. I know to add a code snippet, but I don't know how this helps me.

I do not know how to have a link that leads to the author's archive of CPTs :(
I'm beginner in WordPress but I guess I miss something obvious/easy?

Hi there,

default author archives are found here: /author eg.

https://www.yourdomainname.com/author/abc/

Ah, I see. I have tested that without the code snippet of your colleague, which now makes sense.

I still need to know how I can output such generic links, according to the author. (Like "domain.com/slug?author=youclickedthis")

Sorry, not "generic", but... if I have hundreds of authors, I need to know what link was clicked (on which of the authors)...

You would need to get the author archive link in your Custom post type. Might want to check with PODs support how to do that.

That is enabled. I just don't know how to set the dynamic links. Someone click on an author/item etc. to be redirected to the respective author/item.

Indeed, it was a simple solution; I just had a blind spot. I have found it. Thank you for the help.

Glad to hear you found the solution
