WP_Posts_List_Table::column_author() WordPress Method

The WP_Posts_List_Table::column_author() method is used to display the author column in the Posts list table. This method takes a single argument, $post, which is the WP_Post object for the current row. The method first checks if the post has an author assigned. If not, it displays "Guest" in the author column. Otherwise, it fetches the author data from the database and displays the author's name in the column.

WP_Posts_List_Table::column_author( WP_Post $post ) #

	public function column_author( $post ) {
		$args = array(
			'post_type' => $post->post_type,
			'author'    => get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ),
		);
		echo $this->get_edit_link( $args, get_the_author() );
	}
