separate author page

  • I know there are a billion threads about this. I’ve read them all – at least most of them – but I still I can’t figure out how to do this.
    What I want is an “about page” that displays the profiles of every author (on the same page). Something that would look like this:
    https://www.coldclimategardening.com/contributors-beta/

    Is there an easy way to achieve this?
    I would love you forever if you could help me. I’ve been trying to do this for days but so far no luck.

    I know I could create a static page, but I’d like the page to be updated dynamically whenever an author updates their profile.

    I installed the get author profil plugin but I don’t know what to do with it once it’s installed.

  • There is a new article on the WordPress Codex that should be able to take you through the process step by step of creating custom author templates at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Author_Templates

    I also put together a custom Page template that lists author profiles, etc:

    It’ll update automatically when an author edits their profile page.

    Thanks to the both of you!
    The first solution works but it’s not quite what I want. I’d like to have all the profiles on the same page.

    Kafkaesqui, I assume I have to install a plugin such as phpexec so I can run php scripts. Right?
    The problem is I get an error message
    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/blog/wp-content/plugins/phpexec.php(61) : eval()’d code on line 60″

    And I have absolutely no idea of how to fix it. Hence, I don’t even know if your script works.

    “Kafkaesqui, I assume I have to install a plugin such as phpexec so I can run php scripts.”

    Nope. It’s designed as a Page template, and all you’d need do is save the source to a file within your current theme (say “authors.php”), create a Page (say “Authors”) without any content, and assign the Page template to it. You may need to do a bit of editing to the template to get it to match whatever theme you use (as it’s based on the default (Kubrick)).

    Once again thank you. I’m so stupid.
    It works and you are my hero!
