Display posts in loop of specific authors - php

Question

Hi guys I'm in a bit of a problem on making a new wordpress website. I have a custom post type called "authors" where I place all authors that will create content in new website. Now after styling with CSS those single author sites I would like to make a loop, which will show their posts in website. How can I achieve that? Right now, when I use standard loop, it displays me posts of all user, but not that specific one, on which site I'm actually in. If it isn't achievable in that way, please tell me how to achieve it in easier way? Maybe I should delete the custom post type, and base on "users". But then how can I pick their "info" into loop (for example name, bio, and how many posts they have written already). Below the code of single-authors.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<main class="author">
<div class="container">
<h1>Author's articles</h1>

<div class="entries-authors">
<div class="single-author row">

<img src="<?php $thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full'); print_r($thumb[0]); ?>" alt="">
</a>
<div class="author-info">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<h3><?php $title = get_the_title(); echo substr($title, 0 , 100); ?>
</h3>
</a>

<?php
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->id, 'job' );
if ( !is_wp_error($terms)) {
$album_categories = array();
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$album_categories[] = $term->name;
$albums = join( ", ", $album_categories );
}
?>
<span><?php echo $albums; ?></span>
<?php } ?>
</h4>

Answer 1

That was what I needed
<?php query_posts('author=' . $post->post_author . '&order=ASC&showposts=7'); ?>
