WordPress – Allowing comments on author pages

3 comments

1. Actually you need to simply hook the Stuff with the user_register Action like

   function my_user_register($user_id){
   
       $user = get_user_by( 'id', $user_id );
   
       /**
        * if required you can limit this profile creation action to some limited 
        * roles only
        */
   
       /**
        * Created new Page under "user_profile_page" every time a new User 
        * is being created
        */
   
       $profile_page = wp_insert_post(array(
           'post_title'        => " $user->display_name Profile ", // Text only to Map those page @ admin
           'post_type'         => "user_profile_page", // Custom Post type which you have created 
           'post_status'       => 'publish',
           'post_author'       => $user_id,
       ));
   
       /**
        * Save the Profile Page id into the user meta
        */
       if(!is_wp_error($profile_page))
           add_user_meta($user_id,'user_profile_page',$profile_page,TRUE);
   }
   
   /**
    * Action which is being trigger Every time when a new User is being created
    */
   add_action('user_register','my_user_register');
   

   Above code is something which you are actually missing from the original post https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/8996/author-page-comments-and-ratings So after adding the above code you simple need to follow that over the author.php same like that code

   $profile_page = get_the_author_meta('user_profile_page');
   
   global $post;
   $post = get_post($profile_page);
   
   setup_postdata( $post ); 
   
   //fool wordpress to think we are on a single post page
   $wp_query->is_single = true;
   //get comments
   comments_template();
   //reset wordpress to ture post
   $wp_query->is_single = false;
   
   wp_reset_query();
   

2. You can hook a new filter to wp_insert_user function (if you’re using it to insert user on registration step) using insert_user_meta hook, so, after creating new user, this filter will be called on meta array before saving it. Here is the example code that might be helpful:

   <?php
   add_filter('insert_user_meta', 'nl_associate_cp_to_user', 10, 3);
   function nl_associate_cp_to_user($meta, $user, $update ){
       $meta['cpid_for_comments'] = nl_get_new_cpid_for_comments();
       return $meta;
   }
   
   function nl_get_new_cpid_for_comments(){
       $data = array(
           'post_type'    => 'CCPT',
           'post_title'    => 'Stub Post',
           'post_content'  => '',
           'post_status'   => 'publish',
           'post_author'   => 1,
       );
   
       $post_id = wp_insert_post( $data );
       if(!is_wp_error($post_id)) return $post_id; 
   }
   ?>
   

3. You Can update your user-author.php file with the below code.

   <?php
              //save blog Id
               $blog_id = $post->ID;
              // now map your post with author post
               $author_post_id = get_user_meta($user_id, author_post_id,blog);
               query_posts("p=$author_post_id");
               the_post();
              //Your are in a single post page
              $wp_query->is_single = blog;
             //get comments
             comments_template();
             //reset wordpress to particular post
             $wp_query->is_single = false;
             query_posts("p=$blog_id");
            the_post();
       ?>
   

   You need to understand here we assume with blog id for the particular blog. please let me know if there are any other issue you are facing.
