While the other answer in this thread does "work", your solution is cleaner if we can make it show the "latest" post rather than the first post. I've tried a few different methods to "filter" the results further to get the ordering to show the latest post without success. | |

Yeah, when you start messing with those filters you really have to know SQL since are literally just injecting raw SQL into the query. I know I can do this with pure SQL. Let me think about how to do it with WP_Query

| Jan 3, 2013 at 16:42 | comment | added | Peter Willis III | Great thanks, appreciate that. It worked, but seems to be showing each authors oldest (rather than newest) post. I have tried putting an orderby parameter into the args, but I'm guessing the filter is overriding it as it's having no effect. I have discovered another filter called posts_orderby, which has more documentation than the posts_groupby function, but I'm not sure if this is what I need. I tried implementing the filter but it caused an error. | |
