After a little research, I decide to rewrite my plugin using the WP_Query class rather than the $wpdb object. Rather than running a SQL query directly, it uses the standard WordPress query methods. I believe the “posts-per-page” setting in the new plugin code should restrict the amount of data pulled from the database. Let me know if you have any issues with the new version. Also, I credited you in the changelog: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/latest-posts-by-author/changelog/

That’s a really good point. I’ll have to look into that and get back to you.

Hey, thanks for the great plugin! Everything is working well. I just had a quick question.

I am concerned about performance for an author that has a large number of posts. The MySQL query seems to grab all of the author’s posts, then loop through until the iterator reaches the value of $show, then break the loop. To increase performance and only grab what you need from the database, can’t you add “LIMIT $show” to the end of the query (line20), and drop the for loop altogether? I don’t know if this is possible (I don’t work much with MySQL queries when it comes to WordPress, just wanted to throw it out there).

Let me know your thoughts, and thanks again!

I think there could be a few different things that could cause such an issue. If you want to use the contact form on this site to send me a link to your website, I would be happy to take a look and see if I can figure out what went wrong.

I have the same issue. I followed your steps exactly except putting my site in a “blog” folder (and the site works!! woot!) but I am not able to get to my admin anymore. Neither http://example.com/wp-admin nor http://example.com/blog/wp-admin works.

Only URL that works is http://example.com/wp-login.php. When I go there I get a really funky unstyled page, like WordPress is broken or something. And then when I login the Admin bar appears at the top of the site, but none of the admin links will work – they all go to 404 not found pages.

Hoping you might have an answer!
