Hi @scottcarlton

Thanks for the info.

So, the code what you are attempting to write will be run on the single-employees.php template. This template is run when the global $post is the post object of an employee.

That means you can find the employee ID like so:

$id = get_the_ID();

then, you can find all publications of this employee like so:

<?php

$wp_query = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'meta_query' => array(
	    array(
	        'key' => 'author_field',
	        'value' => get_the_ID()
	    ),
    )
));

?>

Does that help?

Thanks
E
