Listing Authors Names & Descritions

Themes usually come without that template, which shouldn’t stop you from making one…

Thanks for your help. I found how to create an author template and uploaded it and got it working – almost.

See https://blogsgmfusor.setupmyblog.com/?author=3 as my example. I have this line of code that doesn’t seem to be working…
<h2>Posts by <?php echo $curauth->user_nickname; ?></h2>

Should I have replaced user_nickname or is that some default?

I don’t know anything about that template… however there are priceless resources at the bottom of the page I’ve linked to above.

The benefit of an author template is to list individual author info and posts. Looking at your site you appear to want to list all authors (or rather, contributors) on a single page, so you may be better off with something like my All Authors *Page* template:

Kaf, Thanks for that!

After some tinkering I figured out how to make a new page with the template and it’s looking fantastic – https://blog.gmfus.org/?page_id=11

Thanks again!

Kaf, if I wanted to list Authors and Editors on the same page and specify their role within their profile, how would I do that?

I don’t see anything in the code that jumps out and says “Get Authors” that I could add to.

phejster, it would help to know if you want to list them under separate groupings, or just flag each user listed with their ‘designation’?

But no, there’s nothing in the template which collects role information. But it could, so I’ll plug away at it over the next day or so and post an update.

My All Authors Page template (for WP 2) now lets you test on and/or display the user role:
