Don’t hack core, trust me.
It doesn’t look like wp_list_authors() has filters or actions you can use, I think you’re stuck with the feed image on the right.
If it’s really important, you can write a plugin or an alternate function and use that to display the authors instead.
I really like this plugin to display authors: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/author-avatars/
i have the plugin already but this code is a lot simpler and does the same thing.
but look at the right side of the page right under “about this topic” thats what i want but i cant understand the code by inspecting it
I would really recommend copy pasting wp_list_authors into your functions.php, rename it something like posthawk_list_authors, call that, and then tackle learning how to edit it. If you have specific php questions that arise I’ll be happy to answer them.
i guess then my question is how to change the default order within the code
like is it an array thing or an if/else order because those would be the 2 things in the code
You really don’t want to give it a crack at all? Track the $feed_image variable. All that’s happening is that it’s getting put after the name.
heres a link to a picture of the original function.
i cant figure out how to turn it into php. because i cant use list_authors anymore do i create a new function?

Yes, as I said in my previous post, copy paste the original WordPress function into your functions.php file, rename it, and then call your new function in place of the original.
i get that.
im not quite sure how to move the feed image above the name. i tried ajusting the ifs within the function but its not working right.
like error not right
nope. displays no feed image or link
On line 84 of the pastebin, change $link = to $link .=
thanks man for doing that for me. that was it. i dont know if i can thumb up you or not but i would
but while you are here… how would i put a space between the two items
(feed image and author name)? whould i do it in the function or the php?
You’re welcome, glad it’s working.
Go ahead and do it in the function.
Change the beginning of line 84 in the pastebin: $link .= ' <a...
For future reference, php is the language the function is written in. Happy coding!
