Not Multisite Compatible

Hi Christienpaul,
Thanks for using Author plugin. I am afraid the error happens to you, however, if you have any mirror site for your current site and help me with credential details. I would happy to help you. Also, I haven’t tried with multisite so I am unaware. We have pro plugin for this, you can review it. Here is the link https://codecanyon.net/item/a-fancy-wordpress-author-list/6135589.
Thank you

Sabby, here is the quick fix you can roll out to make the plugin compatible with multisite. It’s because of invalid use of $wpdb->base_prefix, which on multisite evaluates to the table prefix for the first site created.

author_widget.php line 106:

replace:

$table_prefix.=$wpdb->base_prefix;
$table_prefix.="users";
$table_prefix1.=$wpdb->base_prefix;
$table_prefix1.="posts";

with:

$table_prefix = $wpdb->users;
$table_prefix1 = $wpdb->posts;
