Display authors most liked post on author.php

[SteebZA]

Hi there,

The pro features list mentions the ability to display the most liked post from an author on that authors page (author.php) but I can’t seem to find how to implement that, I’ve tried copying code from the most-liked-posts.php template but it doesn’t seem to work, no sure how I would go about doing that? any assistance here would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

You need to use the code from content-likes.php file. It will show the posts liked by the author. If you want to show the most liked posts authored by the author, then you need to change the query by replacing WHERE L.user_id = {$author->ID} with WHERE P.post_author = {$author->ID}. Do let us know if this helped you or not.

One more quick question; how would I display the content of the top 2 posts out of all posts on a template page? Thanks

You can use the above query without the user/author condition with a LIMIT restriction. You can also refer to our blog where this has been explained using meta data. You can remove the category check and add LIMIT.
