Strange behavior with author parameter

    Hello
    Thanks for your work with this plugin.
    I’ve got several posts initially assigned to an author (lets say Bill). I assigned those posts to other author (lets say Bob) so in Bob’s page I use the shortcode [display-posts author=”Bob”] but no posts are displayed in my remote server. It works fine in my localserver, but no in remote server.
    It works in remote server using id parameter, but no with author parameter.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance.

    The author parameter uses the author’s “nicename”, which is their username with any special characters removed.

    The simplest way to find it is look at the author’s archive page. If Bob’s archive page is https://example.com/author/bob2 , then use [display-posts author=”bob2″]

    If you provide a link to the your site I can help you find the right term to use.
