在最近的wordpress中获取作者姓名

Question

i want to display the the name of the author in my recent blog post . i tried this but not working. somebody please help me.

    $args = array( 'numberposts' => '8' );
  $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
    foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){?>
         <i><?php echo get_the_author(); ?></i> 
         <i><?php echo $recent['post_author']; ?></i> 
}?>

get_the_author(); it doesnt shows any output. And $recent['post_author']; it shows output as 1

Answer 1

get_the_author() won't work outside the post loop therefore isn't appropriate for use with wp_get_recent_posts() .

Your second version, $recent['post_author'] , is outputting the correct value. You're seeing 1 because it's the author's ID rather than their name. You need to take the ID and use it to retrieve their name.

Use the_author_meta() to output the display name value:

<?php the_author_meta( 'display_name', $recent['post_author'] ); ?>
