How to Display Posts only from Current User

10th May 2011 | Posted by reza | 5 Comments

When a contributor in a multi-user site see the post list in the admin page, he could see not only his posts, but also posts from other contributors. Even he couldn’t edit the other posts, this still could be a problem if there’s alot post already and he have to search from page to page to find his posts. How about displaying his post only? This snippet will show how to do it.

User post only

Simply put the code into your theme functions.php.

function mypo_parse_query_useronly( $wp_query ) {
    if ( strpos( $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ], '/wp_admin/edit.html' ) !== false ) {
        if ( !current_user_can( 'level_10' ) ) {
            global $current_user;
            $wp_query->set( 'author', $current_user->id );
        }
    }
}

add_filter('parse_query', 'mypo_parse_query_useronly' );

Hope the snippet helps.

Hi, thanks for the tips. BTW, is there anyway to show comment only for post by current logged in authors in wordpress admin panel?
