WordPress get posts by author id

4 Views

How can I query for all posts with any status (published, pending etc.) for a given author ID. 

<?php               
$loop = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'photo',
    'posts_per_page' => 12,
    'orderby'=> 'menu_order',
    'author' => $user->data->ID,
    'post_status' => '???', //what should I put here
    'paged'=>$paged
));
?>

Should I provide new as the status? I visited this (link http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Status_Transitions) and got this [‘new’ – When there’s no previous status]. I set the status as new and it solved my problem. But I am not sure will it make any problem in future? will it show all posts for ever? I have very little experience in WP. Please help me out.

  1. Try asking this at http://wordpress.stackexchange.com. They tend to be better about WP API questions there. I’ll take a stab myself though.

    According to their docs the following values are valid. I would try any

    'publish' - a published post or page.
'pending' - post is pending review.
'draft' - a post in draft status.
'auto-draft' - a newly created post, with no content.
'future' - a post to publish in the future.
'private' - not visible to users who are not logged in.
'inherit' - a revision. see get_children.
'trash' - post is in trashbin (available with Version 2.9).
'any' - retrieves any status except those from post types with 'exclude_from_search' set to true.

  2. you can use 

    <?php
    $author_posts =  get_posts(array(
'author' => $post->post_author,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
'posts_per_page' => 5
));

?>

    <div class="graybg">
<div class="container">
    <div class="row listrecent listrelated">


        <!-- begin post -->

        <?php
        for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
            $_post = $author_posts[$i];
        ?>
            <div class="col-md-4">
