Override WPLMS author-course.php / author.php in child theme

The files author-course.php and author.php can not be overwritten in a WPLMS child theme directly. The only way is to override the filter in the child theme functions.php:

add_filter( 'template_include', 'override_check_instructing_courses_endpoint',99);

 

function override_check_instructing_courses_endpoint($template){

  if(!is_author())

    return $template;

  global $wp_query;

  $instructing_courses=apply_filters('wplms_instructing_courses_endpoint','instructing-courses');

  if ( !isset( $wp_query->query_vars[$instructing_courses] ) ){

     $wp_query->set( 'post_type', array('post') );

     return get_stylesheet_directory().'author.php';

  }else{

  
    $wp_query->set( 'post_type', array('course') );

    return get_stylesheet_directory().'author-course.php';

  }

}
