Hi, I see by default we have this structure in breadcrumbs: Home -> Authors-> Posts by Author
I want to create Authors page, and list on it all users with “author” role, with small bio and maybe posts counts.
Tried to create Authors page, and filtering authors using “[td_block_authors]” but it not accessible by clicking on Authors link on breadcrumbs
authors

Thanks

Hi,

In order to achieve a link to authors pages, you need to do the follow steps.
1. Create a Authors page were to show all authors.

2. Go to tagDiv Cloud Library and get a custom template for authors, and add to it the breadcrumbs and set on them the link to the authors page you create above.

Save the template.
3. Set the template

Now you can try to see if the breadcrumbs works!

Thank you.

I found this solution

here

Code provided:

$buffy .= '<div class="td-authors-url">';
$last_article = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author = %d AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1", $td_author->ID), ARRAY_A);
$buffy .= '' . $last_article['post_title'] . '';
$buffy .= '</div>';

But in result I want few clickable links to latest article by the author.

Thanks

Hi,

In order too get a clickable link you need to add this
$buffy .= '' . $last_article['post_title'] . '';
In href you need to set the url get for each posts.

Thank you for your understanding.
