Description

Displays a list of the blog's authors (users), and if the user has authored any posts, the author name is displayed as a link to their posts. Optionally this tag displays each author's post count and RSS feed link.

Usage

<?php wp_list_authors('arguments'); ?>

Examples

Default Usage

$defaults = array('optioncount' => false, 'exclude_admin' => true, 'show_fullname' => false,
   'hide_empty' => true,'feed' => '', 'feed_image' => '');

By default, the usage shows:

Does not display the count of the number of posts
Excludes the 'admin' author from the list
Does not display the full name (first and last) but displays the author nickname
Excludes users with no posts
No author feed text is displayed
No author feed image is displayed

<?php wp_list_authors(); ?>

Authors Full Names and Number of Posts

This example displays a list of the site's authors with the full name (first and last name) plus the number of posts for each author. Also, and by default, it excludes the admin author, hides authors with no posts, and does not display the RSS feed or image.

<?php wp_list_authors('show_fullname=1&optioncount=1'); ?>
