Blog Custom - Filtering An Author, But They Aren't Showing

  • Does anyone know why a particular author wouldn't show on a filtered page like this:

    PHP
    1. <?php perch_blog_custom([
    2. 'sort' => 'postDateTime',
    3. 'count' => '9',
    4. 'template' => 'blog/post_in_column.html',
    5. 'sort-order' => 'DESC',
    6. 'filter' => 'authorFamilyName',
    7. 'match'=>'eq',
    8. 'value'=>'Smith',
    9. 'paginate' => true,
    10. ]); ?>


    I have many pages just like this one, with different author names instead of "Smith" and they all work fine, showing the articles from that author. I double checked the author details, making sure the "Smith" name is correct, no spaces or anything. I also opened a post from the author, changed it to another author, then switch it back to him. Still nothing.


    What other issues would stop an author's filtered page from showing posts?

  • That resolved it - thank you again hus_hmd


    I'm not sure why the other 10 authors work with the original code, but I'll follow this method for filtering authors now. I thought it had to be a filter/match/value combination.


    Hope you and your family are doing well is this strange time in the world! :S
