Support › MB Views › Post Author Field not ListedResolved
Hi Meta Box Team,
When creating a View for a Custom Post Type single, when I click the Insert Field button, I don't see the author as a field that can be inserted. Is there a way to retrieve the post author? This did not work:
{{ post.author }}
Thank you,
David
This works: {{ mb.get_the_author() }}
I expected the post Author fields in the Post Fields group, but found them in the User group via the drop down.
Hi,
In the View, we can click to the tab Insert Field > Tab User > User dropdown: Post Author > Then click the User options below: User ID, first name ...
Or use the mb. proxy to connect all supported template tags of WordPress and your custom function, see more in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#running-php-functions.
