[Support request] Display Pages on Author Archives

[Josh]

On my author archive pages website.com/author/name/ it shows as “nothing found” since all of the content on my site are pages and not posts. However, once I assign a post to an author then the author page works correctly (although it only shows the one post).

How can I allow the author archive pages to show all pages and posts assigned to each other? Thanks

Hi,

You can try adding this PHP snippet:

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

This should add the pages created by the author. You can add in more post types on the array() if you have custom post types.

Thanks Elvin. Where exactly do I put this PHP snippet? On the archives.php page? Or the functions.php page?
