    Listing authors with wp_list_authors() only lists the authors that have written Posts, not the ones that have written custom post types.

    And he's right, the function would be even greater and more useful if it supported post types. Something for the next release?

    I have same problem, on my sites most users only write on custom post types.. It's a bit tricky.

    Same here...trying to find a good way to handle this. On my site we only use custom post types, so this function is essentially rendered useless.

    I'm looking through trac to see if it got picked up. This would be something to add, I think.

    Here's a solution involving writing a custom function. I tried it with a custom post type I created, worked like a charm.
