This WordPress plugin provides a widget to showcase your site’s authors. When configuring the widget you select the authors and choose whether to display them with their avatars and choose how many posts to display for authors.
Please download the plugin directly from the WordPress.org repository:
Featured Authors Widget
You configure the widget in the usual way in the wp-admin -> appearance -> widgets section:
Here’s how it looks in the default “TwentyEleven” theme:
Add a little CSS to your theme and here’s how it can look (As seen on the Article-3.com site):
How can I the authors, what should I do to show my special order….
i don’t order by alphabetic, post count…
i want to order by speacial…
for example..
1. author3
2. author12
3. author1
4.author8
…..
….
That’s an interesting question. One way would be to edit featured-authors-widget.php at about line 121 and add an additional argument to the get_users() call. For example you could do ‘orderby’ = ‘menu_order’ or something. I bet I could whip up something more clever if you’re really interested. Contact me via my contact form and we can discuss further.
i can add some codes in line 126 to order by ID
// $users = get_users( ‘who=author’ ); Orjinal hali (orginal line)
$users = get_users( array(
‘who’ => ‘authors’,
‘number’ => 99999,
‘orderby’ => ‘ID’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’
) );
it was ordered on admin panel by ID, but it wasn’t ordered on site. How can i order by ID on site?
That’s a good point. I’ll update the plugin with some sort options for the front end as a select item in the widget config panel. I’ve got a busy week so it might take a minute.
Thank you for answer… I’m waiting for new version..
if you can add manuel sorting in this plugin, it can be greatest plugin. for example; ajax drop drag or input User ID (3,35,343,1,23)
Hi, this plugin is exactly what I need! Thanks for writing it… I could use some help with the styling, however. The example you use above for the Article-3.com site is very close to what I would like… can you offer suggestions on the css for that? And does that css go in the theme’s style.css, or somewhere else?
Thanks!
John,
Yes, css goes in your them’s style.css (generally speaking). I’m always available to help with styling and custom implementations. Please use my contact form if you’d like more information about my services and pricing. If you want to DIY, I recommend you use Chrome’s developer tools to inspect the styling of the elements on Article-3 to re-use on your site. You can download the entire A-3.com stylesheet if that’s easier.
This plugin is awesome! Can I suggest a random author feature? Would love that as my contributors increase.
thank you! beatufull…
I would them to show side by side , horizontal instead of vertical.
That totally do-able with a little CSS. (Make each author list-item float:left) but that sort of presumes you have a sidebar wide enough for that to look correct.
.widget-title {
color: #666;
font-weight: 500;
letter-spacing: 0.1em;
line-height: 2.6em;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: normal;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
.widget ul li {
color: #777;
font-size: 13px;
list-style: none;
}
#cd_fa-2 .cd-fa-wrap {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
}
#cd_fa-2 .cd-fa-wrap {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
