Title: Query Post Author Last modified: January 8, 2018 --- # Query Post Author * [baidoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baidoc/) * (@baidoc) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/) * Hello, * I’m trying to implement the infinite scroll into my author.php page where I have 3 query_posts. * They are all the same, the only difference is the ‘orderby’ parameter. * This is how I’ve been trying to integrate the plugin into my code: * ``` $author, 'orderby' => 'comment_count', 'posts_per_page' => '5')); if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

``` * What am I doing wrong?

[https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/docs/code-samples/author-archives/](https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/docs/code-samples/author-archives/) * You need to pass the author ID to ajax load more. * Thread Starter [baidoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baidoc/) * (@baidoc) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9846907) * Thank you, that has worked. * Now I’m having another issue with the custom parameter. * I’ve the following query (which works) * ``` $args = array( 'author' => $author, 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page'=> 3, //'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'meta_key' => '_post_like_count' ); $like_query = new WP_Query( $args ); if ( $like_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $like_query->have_posts() ) : $like_query->the_post(); .. ``` * How would I integrate it with the Infinite Scroll? * Tried this method: `[ajax_load_more ... meta_key="meta_key" meta_value="_post_like_count" meta_compare="IN" ...]` * Also tried this: * `[ajax_load_more ... custom_args="meta_key:_post_like_count;orderby:meta_value_num"...]` * None from above seem to work. * Any idea why? * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9847554) * Hi [@baidoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baidoc/), You were close with the first try. * Assuming you just want to order by the `_post_like_count` meta key `[ajax_load_more meta_key="_post_like_count" orderby="meta_value_num"]` * Thread Starter [baidoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baidoc/) * (@baidoc) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9854252) * It doesn’t return anything. Is there a way to see logs, or why it won’t return anything? * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9855178) * Nothing will be logged. Your meta_key must be incorrect. * Can you explain exactly what you are trying to do. Maybe i’m missing something. * Thread Starter [baidoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baidoc/) * (@baidoc) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9858042) * Thank you for the reply. * I’ve the following script integrated in my WordPress: [https://hofmannsven.com/2013/laboratory/wordpress-post-like-system/](https://hofmannsven.com/2013/laboratory/wordpress-post-like-system/) * Basically it’s just a post like script, where anyone can like any post. * The Meta key for this script is: `'meta_key' => '_post_like_count'` * I’m just trying to fetch user’s liked posts using your plugin but it doesn’t seem to work. * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9858697) * Ok. On that case you need to also pass in the other meta parameters for a complete meta query. I thought you were only ordering by the field. * `meta_key=“_post_like_count” meta_compare=“=“ meta_type=“CHAR”` * You might need to play around with the type and compare parameters. Hope that helps. * Thread Starter [baidoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baidoc/) * (@baidoc) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9858824) * I don’t know why, but still can’t figure it out, and won’t work. * Also, from where did you get the meta_compare? I can’t see it anywhere on the shortcode builder page. * I also tried: [ajax_load_more post_type=”post” author=”‘.$author.'” meta_key =”meta_key:orderby” meta_value=”_post_like_count:meta_value_num” meta_compare =”IN:IN” meta_type=”CHAR:CHAR” meta_relation=”AND”] * or: * [ajax_load_more post_type=”post” author=”‘.$author.'” meta_key=”:orderby” meta_value =”_post_like_count:meta_value_num” meta_compare=”IN:IN” meta_type=”CHAR:CHAR” meta_relation=”AND” orderby=”name”] * What else could I try? * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9858849) * meta compare is Meta Operator I think in the shortcode builder. * Open a ticket here if you want me to log in and try tix the issue for you. * [https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/support/](https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/support/) * Thread Starter [baidoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baidoc/) * (@baidoc) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9864704) * Hi, * While preparing the Ticket for you and the page to send you, I noticed that it works when I insert directly through wp-admin (directly embedded into page) * BUT if I try using the do_shortcode function it won’t work. * What could be the reason for that? Should I still open the ticket? * Thank you! * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-post-author/#post-9865613) * A reason could be that there is already a loop on the page and it’s inferring with the Ajax query.
