In this post, I will share step-by-step instructions on how you can easily filter posts by authors in WordPress Admin Panel.
The default admin panel lets you filter posts by the below functions.
- Month
- Category
- Post Status
The Author filter is not included by default. You can easily get posts for a particular author with the author filter functionality.
Let’s start to understand the author filter.
Please copy the below code and paste it into your child theme’s functions.php file.
/**
* This section makes posts in the admin filterable by the author.
*/
add_action('restrict_manage_posts', 'ditt_filter_by_author');
function ditt_filter_by_author() {
$params = array(
'name' => 'author',
'role__in' => array('author','editor','administrator')
);
if ( isset($_GET['user']) ) {
$params['selected'] = $_GET['user'];
}
wp_dropdown_users( $params );
}
For the output, Please check the below video.
Adding an Author filter in WordPress is now easy.
