There seems to be no ability to create templates for the single author template. Am I missing something? I could create a CPT but I would rather have a template that targets the single author page instead.
Technically this is not a single but an archive template (as it shows all the posts from that author). So you create an archive page with the following conditions:
Indeed! Thanks. But unfortunately, this doesn’t allow for editing the single author (author.php) template. Seems like a feature request needs to be made. I’ve put it on the idea board.
It would be extremely nice if this feature could be edited. thx
{current_author_id}
hide or show your design section depending on the author id. easy
// Adds a new tag 'current_author_id' to the Bricks Builder dynamic tags list.
add_filter( 'bricks/dynamic_tags_list', 'add_current_author_id_tag_to_builder' );
function add_current_author_id_tag_to_builder( $tags ) {
$tags[] = [
'name' => 'current_author_id',
'label' => 'Current Author ID',
'group' => 'Author Data',
];
return $tags;
}
// Retrieves the current author ID on an author archive page.
function get_current_author_id() {
return is_author() ? get_queried_object_id() : '';
}
// Renders the 'current_author_id' tag by fetching the current author ID.
add_filter( 'bricks/dynamic_data/render_tag', 'render_current_author_id_tag', 10, 3 );
function render_current_author_id_tag( $tag, $post, $context = 'text' ) {
if ( $tag === 'current_author_id' ) {
return get_current_author_id();
}
return $tag;
}
// Replaces the '{current_author_id}' placeholder in content with the actual current author ID.
add_filter( 'bricks/dynamic_data/render_content', 'render_current_author_id_in_content', 10, 3 );
add_filter( 'bricks/frontend/render_data', 'render_current_author_id_in_content', 10, 2 );
function render_current_author_id_in_content( $content, $post, $context = 'text' ) {
if ( strpos( $content, '{current_author_id}' ) !== false ) {
$author_id = get_current_author_id();
$content = str_replace( '{current_author_id}', $author_id, $content );
}
return $content;
}
