will this work for you?

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_list_authors

trying one more time. anyone have ideas on how to do this??

thanks

sorry. I made a mistake. The removal of TRUE did fix the problem. I saved the updated file into the wrong local directory and wasn’t uploading the latest version..

Thanks for your help.

What I meant by it didn’t work is that it still does the exact same thing as before even when the TRUE is removed. It retrieves posts but not the next or previous posts.

I can’t link the page right now. We are working on something for a client. Sorry.

I tried it. It didn’t work.

also this is not a retrieval by category.

does anyone have a solution for this?

anyone have any suggestions on this issue????

I just want to point out that the only difference between the version that is working and the one that is not is that original one displays the author’s name in a line above the retrieved posts, the other one does not.

Both versions retieve all posts by the author whose name is clicked on in the header line in one of the posts.

<h6><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y'); ?> &amp;nbsp <?php the_time( ); ?>  | Author: <?php the_author_posts_link();?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?>
 | <?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments'), __('1 Comment'), __('% Comments')); ?></h6>

here is the one that works, its almost identical. We used it to construct the new blog.

I pasted the code from the index.php file into https://wordpress.pastebin.com/m57f70450

let me know if you see anything ??

thanks for your response I will give your code a try.

BTW, the second piece of code I posted is at the top of the index page with several other similar archive retrieval statements (by category, by year,by month,by day and by tag).

All work (including the retireval by author) on another blog. I am not sure why it does not work on this blog.

also isn’t the retrieval of all posts by an author considered a loop? May be not the main loop but it also cycles.

Its strange that it does not work, because we had this working on another blog (different theme) with the exact code I provided above.

Follow up on this issue in case someone else has this problem.

We contacted feedburner and after some playing around they suggested that the feed setting (in feedburner) be changed to:

https://yoursitename.com/?feed=atom

this did not solve the problem however they then emailed us an updated copy of feed-atom.php to replace the one that came with WP (2.71) and that did the trick.

Now we have full text set in WP (settings/reading) and have the Summary Burner option set in Feedburner with a character limit of 300.

Feeburner now displays the first 300 characters of each post and the post title is a link to the full post on our site.

where did you make that change?
