根据帖子作者显示不同的内容

Question

I am trying to display a different image on my page depending on who the Wordpress author of the post is.

So far I have tried a few scripts but none of them work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is what I am trying to do.

<?php $author = get_the_author(); ?> 
<?php
if ( $author('author1') ) {
    echo ' 
    <img src="">;
    '
} elseif ( $author('author2') ) {
echo '
    <img src="">;
    '
    } else {
    // if neither, echo something else
}
?>

The get_the_author() function return the author's display name as a string. So you have to simply compare the result of get_the_author() . There is no array or object as return value.

So I would go with the following solution using a switch instead of if :

<?php $author = get_the_author(); ?> 
<?php
    switch($author) {
        case 'author1':
            echo '<img src="">';
            break;
        case 'auhtor2':
            echo '<img src="">';
            break;
        default:
            // if neither, echo something else
    }
?>

In case you want to use the if statement you can use the following:

<?php $author = get_the_author(); ?> 
<?php
    if ($author === 'author1') {
        echo '<img src="">';
    } elseif ($author === 'author2') {
        echo '<img src="">';
    } else {
        // if neither, echo something else
    }
?>
