                        // if we're sorting by rating and this item does not have a rating, hide it
                        $rating = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), "Rating", $single = true); 
                        if(($rating && $feedsort=="meta_value") || ($feedsort!="meta_value")) {                                     
                            $ratings = con_setup_rating($rating); //setup the ratings array


                        ?>
                        <li>

                            <a class="post-title" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>                                              

                        </li>

                    <?php } ?>

                <?php endwhile; 
                endif; 
                wp_reset_query(); ?>

Answer 1

You need to add an author parameter to the query that is creating $cust_loop. You didn't post that part of your code but something like:

$cust_loop = new WP_Query( 'author=123' );

Or:

$cust_loop = new WP_Query( 'author_name=rami' );

Note: Both of those taken (almost) straight from the Codex paged for WP_Query.

Answer 2

Ok, thanks now its working :)

$cust_loop = new WP_Query(array('author_name' => 'admin', 'posts_per_page' => 6));
