[Resolved] How do I insert a separate CPT loop within the author archive loop?

[Pete]

Whoa, what a forum title!

I’ve made up an author.php template file combining everything into just that file. Half way into the loop I want to stop the loop, start and finish another separate loop then restart the first loop.

The second loop is one that lists all the post of a custom post type of that same author.

So it will be something like…
loop 1 start
loop 1 end
loop 2 start
loop 2 end
loop 1 start
loop1 end

I’ve added the code to pastebin as it’s a bit long
http://pastebin.com/RZV4AF2u scroll down for the second loop.

Thanks 🙂

Pretty complicated, but should be do-able.

Take a look at how to use loops: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

Then you’ll want to use the WP Query function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

You’ll also want to make use of the wp_reset_postdata() function.

If you Google “WordPress loop within loop” you’ll find lots of examples.
