Show posts by user

Question

So, here is my php to show posts for wordpress:

<div class="rfp_hide" id="rhm_profile_item">
    <?php
    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    $args = array( 
        'post_type' => 'product',
        'paged' => $paged,
        'posts_per_page' => 20,
        'orderby' => 'date',        
        'order' => 'DESC'
    );
    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); 
    global $product, $post, $paged; 
?>
<div class="rhm_post_container">
      Posts go here
</div>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>  

</div>

It shows all the posts regardless of who posted.

Each post has its href as following:

<a class="royal_author_link" href="<?php echo $userpro->permalink( $post->post_author ); ?>">

On the post author page, the permalink has following structure :

example.com/profile/someone.

Now, how can I modify it so that when I am in a specific user page, it only shows the posts by that user only?

Did you use a custom plugin to create the profile page? In case you have access to the user ID related to the page, you can extend the query argument by the attribute "author" , like so:

$args = array( 
    'author' => $yourUserID
    'post_type' => 'product',
    'paged' => $paged,
    'posts_per_page' => 20,
    'orderby' => 'date',        
    'order' => 'DESC'
);
