Retrieve posts by author

Question

I am trying to retrieve all custom post types created by the current user.

I have this piece of code:

wp_get_current_user();

$args_my_items = array(
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'post_type' => 'mycustomposttype',
    'post_author' => $current_user->ID);

query_posts($args_my_items);

What ends up being returned are all posts of type "mycustomposttype". It does not filter by post_author.

Am I using the wrong query parameters? How can I filter by the current user?

Thanks.

You must specify the author parameter as described here. Try to use:

$args_my_items = array(
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'post_type' => 'mycustomposttype',
    'author' => $current_user->ID
);

query_posts($args_my_items);
