Home › Forums › General Issues › how to display the author's name
Hello everyone, I created a form with ACF custom fields to enter cooking recipes, everything goes well in the database, but now I would like to display the title of the recipes and the author of the recipe
But when I query the database with this query.
Are all recipes in the name of the administrator?
<?php
// 1. On définit les arguments pour définir ce que l'on souhaite récupérer
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'recette',
);
// 2. On exécute la WP Query
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// 3. On lance la boucle !
// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
echo '<ul>';
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
echo '<li>' . get_the_author() . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
} else {
// no posts found
}
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
Hi @flexi2202,
Is your form only visible to logged in users? I assume you’re logged in as non-admin?
I think you need to use the acf_form() parameters
On of the parameters is: html_after_fields.
As you’re logged in, you can access the user ID:
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
So you could then use a hidden value:
'html_after_fields' => '<input type="hidden" name="acf[author_id]" value="'.$user_id.'"/>',
Using acf/save_post
You can then grab the hidden value and updated the post author:
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post');
function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
$arg = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_author' => $_POST['acf']['author_id']
);
wp_update_post( $arg );
}
Code is untested but should point you in the right direction
Hello
a big thank you for your
but I just realized that I forgot to check author in the parameters of CPT, so everything works, thank you again
