Question

I am using a widget to show some related posts.

I am inserting the code directly into the template as follows

<?php
$args = array(
"post_author_url" => "no",
"post_include" => "3456",
"layout_mode" => "multi_column","layout_num_cols" => "3");
special_recent_posts($args);
?>

However, I want to dynamically fill the ‘post_include’ field with an userID that I echo in as follows <?php echo get_user_meta($userID,'member_owner',true); ?>

So the code I am thinking would look something like this

<?php
$args = array(
"post_author_url" => "no",
"post_include" => "<?php echo get_user_meta($userID,'member_owner',true); ?>",
"layout_mode" => "multi_column","layout_num_cols" => "3");
special_recent_posts($args);
?>

I don’t know how to add this dynamic ID to the array as what i am doing does not work.

looking for some guidance

Answer 1

"post_include" => get_user_meta($userID, 'member_owner', true),
