How to filter a meta query where auther == user?

How To

I don’t know why - but author meta just doesn’t work. You can add author_email / author_name - to a basic text in a query loop - and it shows… but use it in the meta and it returns nothing, in any combination I’ve tried.

The only fix I found was to add some code in functions.php

add_filter( 'bricks/posts/query_vars', function( $query_vars, $settings, $element_id ) {
    if ( $element_id == 'xxxxxx' && is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $query_vars['post_type'] = [ 'post' ];
        $query_vars['author'] = get_current_user_id();
    }
    return $query_vars;
}, 10, 3 );

Replace xxxxxx with the ID of your bricks QUERY element - just the last bit. e.g. if it’s #brxe-abcdef
Then use just ‘abcdef’.
