   Hello,

   I don't know much PHP and I've done a google search and a forum search for a solution, but have had no luck. My theme's code that needs editing is:

   <?php
               $authors = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM '.$wpdb->posts);
               if($authors):
               foreach($authors as $author):
               ?>

   How do I alter this code so that I can exclude multiple authors for the listing (say I want to exclude 'admin' , 'user1' , and 'user2' ). Thank you in advance

   You can create an array of author ids to exclude and then check for them in the foreach loop:

   <?php
               $authors = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM '.$wpdb->posts);
               if($authors):
                  $excludes = array(1,14,53);
                  foreach($authors as $author):
                     if (in_array($author->post_author,$excludes)) continue;
               ?>
