@Doug Ragan We're having this same problem too - subscribers are showing up under the authors widget, very odd. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Ennio,

This is an often requested feature. It’s not possible now but I hope to add the ability to the next release of the plugin.

Is it possible to display the author image next to the name?

Hi, For some reason all of the people listed as Subscribers are showing on my sidebar now? What am I doing wrong?

@Takaitra
Well I guess this has “newbie” stamped all over it. Thank you very much!
Can I suggest that you add that to the instructions for all us other guys who don’t know how to do it?

Thanks
JD

Hi Arnab,
The widget always puts the RSS feed image after the author name but if you’re handy with PHP, you can edit the code to place it in front instead. Find the file list-authors.php in your /wp-content/plugins/list-authors/ directory. The image is added to each list item on line 230 of the file. You would need to move that code so that it appears before the author name is output.

Hi JD,
You don’t need to edit the widget source code to show the number of published posts next to each author–the widget config has a checkbox called “Show number of published posts.” All you need to do is check that box and click save.
To get to the widget configuration, click on Appearance then Widgets. Click the small arrow next to the widget name to show its options.

This is a great plugin that has been working well for us for quite some time. However, I want to change some of the default options, but I am having trouble doing so.

The widget does not seem to be recognizing the options that I enabled; I’m not sure if I’m editing the correct portion of the file or need to change another portion of the file. I am in the list-authors.php file which is listed as active. At the “”$defaults = array” seciton as a test i’ve changed the count function as follows “‘optioncount’ => true”. However, I refresh the page and I don’t see the count of post listed.

Do I have to Deactivate and Activate for the changes to take effect? Am I not editing the correct portion of the file? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This is running on WP Version 3.2.1.

Thank you greatly,
JD

Hi Takaitra,

This is a very useful widget, and we have been using it on our site for a while now.

There was a question I had, however. How do we get the RSS Feed image to show before the name of the author? I would prefer it to be displayed that way, since otherwise the alignment doesn’t seem right…. how to go about it?

Hoping to hear from you regarding this soon…

Cheers,
Arnab

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately that is not possible in the List Authors widget but I’ll keep it in mind for a future release.
