Hi there,

Suppose I want to restrict the list generated by wpsp to posts of the logged-in author, what filter settings will then work?

I tried:
```
add_filter( 'wpsp_settings', function($settings){
    if(449 == (int) $settings['list_id']){
        $settings['author_id'] = get_the_author_id();
        } 
    } 
    return $settings; 
  });
```
But that didn’t work.

Thanks for any suggestion.

J

(BTW: where can I find the list of settings names?)

Hi there,

You’ll have to change the wp_query args to assign the current logged in user’s ID. To get the current user’s ID, use https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_current_user_id/

You then filter the query args of the plugin. You either use wp_show_posts_shortcode_args filter, or not use shortcode and use wpsp_display(wpsp_id_here, $args) function.

The wpsp free version’s code is open to public. See the settings list here – https://github.com/tomusborne/wp-show-posts/blob/35e410d7800273fc66f211c0f80d553e95d17f83/wp-show-posts.php#L96

Hi,

Works!
```
add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) {
    if(123 === (int)$settings['list_id']){
       $user_id = get_current_user_id();
       $args['author'] = $user_id;
     }
     return $args;
}, 15, 2 );
```
Thanks for your help!
