Hi @candell
I would start by creating a function, that retrieves all the users, who has a published post within your custom post type. Now, I don’t know what your CPT is called, so I’ve filled it out with “YOUR_CPT” in the code below:
function get_users_with_published_posts() {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'YOUR_CPT',
'post_status' => 'publish', // Only get the posts with "published" status
'numberposts' => -1,
);$posts = get_posts($args);
$users_with_published_posts = array();
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$user_id = $post->post_author;
$user = get_userdata($user_id);
if (in_array('authority', $user->roles)) { // I assume "authority" is your userrole
$users_with_published_posts[$user_id] = $user->display_name;
}
}
return $users_with_published_posts;
}
Please make sure the function name is unique – I’ve just added something for the sake of providing some code. Now, in order to show the authors, you can use the function above like this:
$users = get_users_with_published_posts();
foreach ($users as $user_id => $display_name) {
echo $display_name . '<br>';
}The code above only gives you an user-id and “display_name” – if you need any other info, you should put it in the “$users_with_published_posts”-array. I haven’t tested the code above – it’s just “on the fly” – so naming is also a bit fluffy. Please adjust for your needs.
Best regards
Aris
Thanks for the idea, all working now
