Hello,

First
I would like to know if there is possibility to link author of the post to his BuddyPress profile. How could this be done?

Im using a 3rd party pluging because I couldnt find a plugin that would show author of the post in the widget. I would like to link detected author to his buddypress profile rather than to all of his posts.

Second
What file do I need to change and what code to add to it to show all posts under the profile like I have it in the mockup? I want to show the search results or category archive template under the profile.

Third and last
How can I change the layout of the profile page to be the fullwidth instead of using a sidebar?

Thank you 🙂

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in.

1. That’s possible, please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php

add_filter( 'author_link', 'x_bp_author_link', 10, 3);
function x_bp_author_link( $link, $author_id, $author_nicename ) {
return bp_core_get_userlink( $author_id );
}

2. Please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php as well

add_action('bp_after_profile_content', 'profile_custom_content', -99 );
function profile_custom_content () {
$author_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

//Now add your code here that picks user posts and filters it by $author_id. 
//Can be custom code or shortcode like from grid or any feature that represent posts

}

I can’t provide the exact code since X doesn’t have a feature that displays recent posts by author. The codes depends on the plugin or custom code that you wish to implement.

3. You can switch to full-width at Admin > Appearance > Customizer > BuddyPress > Layout.

Hope these helps.

Hi there,

1. Would you mind providing your site’s URL as well?

2. What author content? The code depends on what you wish to implement.

Thanks!

1. Sorry my bad, http://www.fotkyzadarmo.sk
2. Author’s posts.

Hi there,

1. Can’t login, it has this message

EN
Due to protection of web servers from repeated attacks, we were forced to restrict access to administrative interface of web pages to selected countries. If you are currently in a foreign country, please sign in to WebAdmin, proceed to your domain management and geoIP disable this filter in CMS Support section.

2. Then it’s recent posts but filtered by author ID (hence author posts) 🙂

How do you want to implement it? Essential Grid? The Grid? You probably need is a shortcode for complete function (eg. navigation and pagination) as the post listing can get longer.

Let’s make a sample, let’s say you decided to use The Grid plugin, and your grid shortcode is [the_grid name="author grid"]

Then the code will be like this,

add_action('bp_after_profile_content', 'profile_custom_content', -99 );
function profile_custom_content () {

echo do_shortcode('[the_grid name="author grid"]');

}
function the_grid_query_args($query_args, $grid_name) {

$author_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

    if ($grid_name == 'author grid' && $author_id > 0) {
        $query_args['author'] = $author_id;
    }
    
    return $query_args;
    
}

add_filter('tg_wp_query_args', 'the_grid_query_args', 10, 2);

You may want to consult it to a developer as they can do improvement/enhancement that’s best suited for your mockup 🙂

Thanks!
