Show last post of employee in his profile page

Question

I have built a wordpress theme in which I have listed employees of the organization via custom post type. And I am displaying each employee via custom post type.

The employees listed are authors in my website too and they regularly write posts. When I am viewing each employees Profile page, I want to show the lst post written by that employee.

I hope I am clear in my explanation.

Please help me...

You can use the following code to get the most recent post by a given Author, just un-comment one of the two lines as appropriate. See the Codex for more info on WP_Query.

The Codex entry is pretty long, so scroll down to the Parameters section for more info on the various options you can filter your query with.

$query = new WP_Query(array(

    // get most recent post by Author's nickname (not username!)
//    'author_name'    => 'Joe'

    // get most recent post by Author's ID
//    'author'         => 7,

    'posts_per_page' => 1,
));
