Hi LonelySchnozz,
Thanks, however as well as the author link i also need an avatar with each author and latest post..
currently:
<?php $authors = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM '.$wpdb->posts);
if($authors): foreach($authors as $author): ?>
<div class="left">
<h2><?php the_author_meta('display_name', $author->post_author); ?></h2>
<?php echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('user_email', $author->post_author), 200); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php $recentPost = new WP_Query('author='.$author->post_author.'&showposts=1'); while($recentPost->have_posts()): $recentPost->the_post(); ?>
<div class="right">
<h2 class="entry-title"> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> </h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p class="postmetadata">Posted on <?php the_time('jS F Y') ?></p>
<h3><a href='<?php the_title();?>'><?php the_title(); ?> > </a></h3>
<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_time('jS F Y') ?></p>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" class="more-link-writer">Read more by <?php the_author_meta( 'nickname' ); ?></a></p>
but i’m thinking this may be overkill, coudl you provide a way of building up your suggestion?
currently i’ve started with:
<h2><?php wp_list_authors('exclude_admin=1&hide_empty=1'); ?>
</h2>
many thanks for any help!
