  1. Hi, I am new to the forum, and am hoping you can help, I know a little about PHP, but not enough to solve an issue I have with a wordpress site I am currently working on. I am currently working with a plugin that shows posts by a specific user. At present, you can put the plugin into the theme pages by using <?php echo do_shortcode('[latestbyauthor author=username" show="3]'); ?> This requires you to manually input the authors username. I am trying to automate this, setting the user name based on the users profile you are viewing - here is the user profile page for reference:http://www.copymusic.co.uk/COPYmusicscout2/ Now I am familiar with how to pull the relevant users name, as I have used the following code to correctly display the "view uploads by xxxxx" link. I have been using the following: <?php echo $user->screenname; ?>. I therefore tried using <?php echo do_shortcode('[latestbyauthor author=<?php echo $user->screenname; ?>" show="3]'); ?> which didn't work. I read something online which suggested the 2nd echo wasn't required so I tried <?php echo do_shortcode('[latestbyauthor author= $user->screenname" show="3]'); ?> which again didn't work. I am therefore a little stuck . . At the moment it is just displaying the last few posts onto the site, I have tried manually inputting the relevant user name and it does work, but obviously shows the same posts regardless of user profile! I am pretty familiar with some PHP so can take simple instructions, unfortunately I am a bit stuck at this time! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, if you need any more detail, please let me know! Many thanks Ryan
