 * [loop author=”this”]…[/loop]
 * Doesn’t work at all for me whereas when I specify the author=”author ID” it works
   fine.
 * Is this feature working yet?

 * I tested this and it’s working on my end. The parameter _author=”this”_ should
   display posts or other post types whose author is the current logged-in user.
 * Hmm, I wonder what is different in your situation. Can you try this before the
   loop:
 *     ```
       [user id]
       ```
   
 * Then, you can see if the user ID is the same as the author ID of the posts you
   need.
 *     ```
       [loop type="post]
         [field title] - [field author-id]
       [/loop]
       ```

 * Thank you very much, Eliot!
 * The plugin is great. You are right , but how can I display posts or other post
   types whose author is the current author id of that page but not the logged-in
   user?

 * Aah, I see. OK, I added a parameter in the latest plugin update to simplify this.
 *     ```
       [loop type="post" author="same"]
         [field title]
       [/loop]
       ```
   
 * This will show posts by the same author as current post. If you don’t want the
   current post itself in the loop, you can exclude it:
 *     ```
       [loop type="post" author="same" exclude="this"]
       ```
