Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA - PATCH 113-06: the_author and other 'Limited PHP code' don't all work

Note: this patch includes the changes in PATCH 113-03.

Several of 'Limited PHP code' - like the_author() and the_author_meta() - do not work in all places in the 'single.php, page.php and even the postformat.php. Thanks to 'goater' for finding the issue.

The following patch corrects this issue.

edit the file 'montezuma/includes/parse_php.php' and change line 28-30 from

HTML Code:

        $need_loop = array( 'the_content' );

        // the_content needs loop

        if( in_array( $function_name, $need_loop ) ) {

HTML Code:

        $need_loop = array( 'the_author',

                                                'the_author_meta',

                                                'the_author_post_links',

                                                'the_content', 

                                                'the_date', 

                                                'the_excerpt' 

                                                 );

        // functions that needs the loop

        if( !in_the_loop() && in_array( $function_name, $need_loop ) ) {

or download the attached file (which has the fix applied) and using FTP, replace the existing 'parse_php.php' file in the 'includes' sub-folder in the theme
