A way to display users on a page?

i assume that you’re using 1.5 – people seem to forget to include what version they’re using which makes ti difficult to know.

so assuming you’re using 1.5, you can create a template called authors.php. read this for template info:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Templates

Within that template file, you can use author tags:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags

read the the relevant tags and see the variables they offer. With a few tags you can create the required effectof having a list of authors on your page, with their profile.

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_list_authors
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/list_authors

They do the same things but they do it a little differently, but they are what you want to generate a list of authors. They should generate links that will open up pages with a list of the author’s work.

I’m semi-getting a hold of this but am having trouble just listing what I’d like. For instance, I have:

<?php list_authors(FALSE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE); ?>
<?php the_author_description(); ?>

on this page: https://www.theappleblog.com/contributors/

Obviously I’m not doing the author description tag correctly.

Also, the links aren’t working for the author either…how would I fix that?

Hmm…okay, just read this for the_author_description tag:

“Displays the content of the Profile: field in a user’s profile for the author of a post. “

So according to that it would only show my profile on that page since I created the page (which is what it’s doing at this point).

How could I make it show everyones?

Anybody have some ideas about this?

This thread describes one way of doing what you want to.
