    Hi,

    I would like to list the 10 most recent authors that contributed articles to my webpage. RIght now I am doing it like this:
    <?php wp_list_authors('show_nickname=1&feed=rss&optioncount=1&exclude_admin=0'); ?>

    But yeah, it obviously doesn’t do what I want to do ?? . How do I set a limit=10 and display the authors with the most recent articles at the same time.

    Hope someone can help me!

    Consider using this plugin and configure it so it only displays the author name.

    Thanks MichaelH …

    Right now you can click on each authors name and it brings you to the author’s page. Is it still possible to keep the link then?

    Thanks

    Yes, in the Settings->Recent Posts->Output->Output Filter I used <li>{link} <a href="{authorurl}">{author}</a> </li>

    Wait, one more little question ??

    The plugin works fine and always displays the last post as well as the author. But for some reason it then adds all articles of the same author below it. Is there a way to display just the 10 most recent posts?

    Try to explain it a little more. Right now it looks like this:

    1.) article I author1 (most recent article)
    2.) another article of auhthor1
    3.) another article of author 1
    …
    10.)another article of author 1

    ______________________________________________
    I’d like to display it like this:

    1.) Most recent article I author1
    2.) article before most recent one I author2
    3.) article before this one I authorX

    and so on…

    How can I configure that? Thank you!!!

    I just figured it out !!! I accidentally had “Match the current post’s author?” turned on!

    MichaelH, I will start trying to help people with some beginner questions!

    Thanks again,
