    Hello,

    I’m needing to get the Adverts Author ID on the list-item.php template. I tried using the following:
    get_post_field( 'post_author', $post_id )

    However, this returns the WordPress user ID, not the adverts author ID. I need this so I can access meta data on the author post object.

    If I can’t get the author ID, is there a way I can get meta values from the author post type?

    Hi,
    the Author profile is basically a Custom Post Type “advert-author” assigned to a user, so in order to ger the Author ID you can use the code below

    
$user_id = get_post_field( 'post_author', $post_id );
$args = array(
    'author'         => $user_id,
    'post_type'      => 'advert-author',
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'post_status'    => array( 'publish', 'advert-hidden' ),
);
$author_page = get_posts( $args );
$author_id = null;
if( isset( $author_page[0] ) ) {
  $author_id = $author_page[0]->ID;
}
