Author Archives

The author archives permit to choose if the author’s bio and the author’s avatar are shown on the archives.

Follow author inside Archives and Widgets

Pro Functionality No 5:

Till now we have only spoken of a picture in the top left corner of a category container (page building block, widget or archive).

Now we will examine also the posts and pages inside the category containers. Again we must speak about three different types:

1. The posts/pages inside the page building block (type1)
2. The posts/pages inside the widget (type2)
3. The posts/pages inside the category archive (type3)

Since the page building blocks are only available with the Pictured Category Container, we add this functionality 1) into this plugin.

Type 3. Proposal for Posts inside Category Container Type “Archive”

Nikolay proposed the following for each post in the archive.
For each post/page we show

• a featured picture
• an excerpt
• the author pic and
• the social networks.Hence a full “Follow Author Light” functionality inside the archive.

My comment on this was that the blog admin should be able to decide if we wants this functionality. Hence an option if to show or not.
Another issue here is that the author bio is missing.

Here we need to verify the site map created with the author archives.

The author archive is a functionality created with the Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin.

Requirement C: Authors want to claim their work: Archive URL Aid

Authors want to be able to prove that they have written some blog entries. In addition to the button above, we build a plugin that links to old versions of the blog entry on the internet archive.

Author Archives Creation

With one simple function attached to the custom_post_author_archive hook, we can easily show both pages and authors on author archive page.

function custom_post_author_archive( &$query )
{
if ( $query->is_author )
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array(‘page’, ‘post’) );
remove_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘page’ ); // run once!
}
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_post_author_archive’ );

Author Archives Pagination

We introduce the pagination on all of the user pages. And it is distributed on all blogs.

Archives limit to 50-100 per page

-> limited to default pagination value for the whole website (setted in to Settings)
