How to display related posts by the same author in WordPress

Want to display related posts by the same author in WordPress? Normally, you can use any related posts plugin to display similar articles on your website. However, if you run a multi-author WordPress website, users may want to read other content from the same author. In this article, we will show you how to display related posts by the same author in WordPress.

Method 1:View Related Posts by Author in WordPress Using the Plugin

This method is easier and is recommended for all users.

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the Similar Posts plugin. For more details, check out our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit Settings »Similar Posts page to configure plugin settings.

The settings page is divided into different tabs, and you'll land on the General tab by default. You can review the options and change them to match your requirements.

On this page, you need to scroll down to the bottom and select 'Yes' next to the 'Match Current Post Author' option. You can uncheck other matching options to ensure the plugin only fetches posts by author.

Next, you need to switch to the "Location" tab and activate the "Output after publication" option. You can also edit the output template by editing the text in the 'Parameters' box.

Don't forget to click the 'Save Settings' button to save your changes.

You can now visit any single post on your website, and you'll see related posts by the same author after the post content.

Publicaciones similares por el autor:
