Hi all
So here is my situation.
I have author.php, which shows a list of latest posts from that author. On the top right hand corner, I then have information about the author (Biog, Name etc).
Underneath that, I want to display posts from a different category. BUT - the category changes depending on the author.
How can I go about setting that up?
Many thanks for your help/advice.

I guess you query for a certain category and want to show posts of the current author only?
Let's say you query for a category like this:
query_posts('cat=4');
to get this query display only posts of the author you just show, you can get the current author ID like this:
$authid=$curauth->ID;
and add in the query you use: &author=$authid
the code getting the current author and looking for his posts in category 4 would look like this:
<?php
$authid=$curauth->ID;
query_posts('cat=4&author=$authid');
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
title and content here
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php //Reset Query
wp_reset_query();
?>did not try, you are my 'beta tester' ;-)
