## 설명

Numerous people are using WordPress for blogging and in many cases there are more
than one authors on a website. It’s uncomfortably surprising that WordPress doesn’t
support out of the box a category menu for each author separately.

I was looking for this feature online for my personal need but couldn’t find it 
on any plugin. To be exact I was using a modified version of [another similar plugin](http://www.makesites.cc/programming/by-makis/level10-blog-matrix-plugin-for-wordpress-2x/)
but that was until version 2.3 where the database structure changed for WordPress
and it simply stopped working.

As I saw it, it wasn’t worth fixing old, deprecated (and highly cluttered) code,
and there weren’t any other solutions out there, so I decided to create a new plugin.
Thankfully the new database and API made it as easy as I had hoped for.

I ended up with this plugin, that was created as a wrapper of the default category
menu.

It is lightweight and can easily plug-in, plug-out. Furthermore, being an extension
of the default category menu, means that none of the functionality (sorting, post
count etc.) is lost. In fact it can be easily extended and could support future 
versions of the blogging platform for years to come.

### Usage

After you upload an activate the plugin through your admin panel, all you need to
do is call the custom function wp_author_categories() that will create an author’s
menu for you. Notice that this only works in author pages and will revert to the
default category menu in any other case.

If you are using the default template, you can easily find this line in “sidebar.
php” (that displays the category menu):
 < ?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&
title_li=Categories’); ?>

You can replace it with this condition that will use the wp_author_categories() 
function instead, when you are visiting the author pages

    ```
            <?php 
            /*
            * First write down the arguments you want to use for you menu and store them in a variable. 
            * These are the same for the default menu ("wp_list_categories") and the author menu ("wp_author_categories")
            * you can find more information on the options you can use here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories
            */
            $args = 'show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>';
            if($author){
                wp_author_categories($args); 
            } else{
                wp_list_categories($args); 
            }
            ?>
    ```

Alternatively, and if you already have an “author.php” file in your template folder,
you can simply rename “wp_list_categories()” to “wp_author_categories()”, passing
the same arguments.

To uninstall, it’s as easy as doing the reverse actions. Delete all references of
the wp_author_categories() function from your template files and uninstall the plugin
through that WordPress’s admin panel.

## FAQ

  Known limitations?

To mention some of the things this plugin (in it’s current version) won’t do for
you:
 * It only works with posts (not pages) * The markup created is directed for
the list-type menu (not the drop down version) with simply parenthesis around the
post count. * The author is added as a standard GET variable and does not support
the SE friendly URLs (although it still works)

  Wishlist?

This is naturally an extension of the current limitations…
 * Add some sort of caching
mechanism so all the post count calculations are not done on every page re-load *
Externalise the menu structure to a template file * Support other versions of the
category menu (dropdown, tag cloud…) * Ability to work with any sort of customized
URLs
