Make Author.php Include Custom Post Types

I was going through a strange issue where Author page was not showing the posts which belongs to Custom Post Types. After Googling, I found this article which shows how to include Custom Post Types for archives.php

I got inspiration from above mentioned article snippet and wrote the following snippet to modify Author.php page to include Custom Post Types

function wpbrigade_author_custom_post_types( $query ) {
  if( is_author() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {
    $query->set( 'post_type', array(
     'post', 'my-custom-post-type-here'
		));
	  return $query;
	}
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpbrigade_author_custom_post_types' );

How to check a specific plugin is activated or not ?

While working on the EDD (Easy Digital Downloads) add-on of Analytify, I was looking for a way to check if the Easy Digital Downloads plugin is already activated or not. So, a message should appear to our users that “They should Activate Easy Digital Downloads to make the Analytify for EDD work properly. ”

Almost every plugin has a class name, we can use the PHP function ‘class_exists‘ to know if it exists or not. Following is the code which can be used to check a plugin is activate or not.

add_action( 'admin_notices', array(
                                  &$this,
                                  'analytify_edd_plugin_notices'
));
public function analytify_edd_plugin_notices() {

if( !class_exists( 'Easy_Digital_Downloads' ) )
echo "<div class="error">" . __( "Easy Digital Downloads is not active. So, Analytify for EDD Add-on will not work properly.", 'wp-analytify' )."</div>";

}

If you know any other way to achieve the same task, do let us know.  Thanks.
