I am trying to fetch the Author details based on display name specified as a condition.




The above code support to display only the Author name of the Authors Display name is 'Mathi'. But it displays all the Users in a blog.
How can I get this particular author details by having only display name.

Check this code:


<mt:Authors username="username">

<$mt:AuthorDisplayName$>

</mt:Authors>

The coding you've provided:

<mt:Authors display_name="Mathi">

<mt:authorname>

</mt:Authors>

Should work just fine!

You may also like to try:

<mt:Authors id="999">

<mt:authorname>

</mt:Authors>

Where "999" is the user ID for "Mathi"...

options 'id', 'display_name' and 'username' both doesnot work in 4.21 version. is something not defined in 4.21 version?
