    Hey there, I thought this could be a common bug, but I didn’t find anything. I have a page “news” where I use the blog shortcode to display all blog posts. But instead of the name of the author my name (Eva Nitsche) is always displayed. No matter who posted the entry. The permalink to the authors page is correct.

    Please have a look here: http://dgkv.info/news/

    There are just three entries right now, but I have tested with other users and other roles. Everytime my name is displayed.

    I use a child theme. Please have a look at this issue.

    Thank you!!

    Here is the code I use (includes > loop-index.php):

    $author_id    = get_query_var( 'author' );
if(empty($author_id)) $author_id = get_the_author_meta('ID');
$vorname    = get_user_meta( $author_id, 'first_name', true); 
$nachname   = get_user_meta( $author_id, 'last_name', true);
$heading    = $vorname." ".$nachname;

    And the output in the <header>:

     echo '<span class="blog-author minor-meta">'.__('by','avia_framework')." ";
                    echo '<span class="entry-author-link" '.avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'author_name','echo'=>false)).'>';
// DGKV: Hier wird der Name und der Link zum Autor ausgegeben
                    echo '<span class="vcard author"><span class="fn"><a href="'.get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )).'">';
					echo $heading;                    
                    echo '</a></span></span>';
                    echo '</span>';
                    echo '</span>';

    What is wrong there?

    The problem only occurs on the blog page created with the shortcode. If you have a look in a category or at the single blog post all is fine there.

    Hi!

    Why are you editing the loop-index.php file? It looks like your just doing the same thing but in a different way. What exactly are you trying to change there?

    Anyways I think the problem is on this line.

    $author_id    = get_query_var( 'author' );

    That’s not going to grab the ID from the loop. Try this out.

    $author_id    = $the_id;

    Hey,

    Thank you for your reply. I realized that the code has to be moved inside the loop.
    Now I did it like that, and it works perfectly:

     echo '<span class="vcard author"><span class="fn"><a href="'.get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )).'">';
     $author_id    = get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
     $vorname    = get_user_meta( $author_id, 'first_name', true); 
     $nachname   = get_user_meta( $author_id, 'last_name', true);
     $heading    = $vorname." ".$nachname;
     echo $heading;
 echo '</a></span></span>';
