Custom Author Listing

    Hello, I am trying to create a page that lists all users with the role author with first name, last name, local avatar plus an image of a custom post type ‘project’ (x 2 posts) and a link to the authors page.

    I have a custom page template set up, and the first name / last name and avatar working, but the link returned isn’t the full link to the users page and there are no images from the posts being returned.

    I am using this code: http://pastebin.com/17S5Jy8H

    I have a feeling there’s something wrong with my query, but don’t know where I am going wrong. This drove me nuts last night and I don’t have much time to get it finished (it’s for my uni’s degree show – I am a student and said I’d build the site!)

    Would appreciate any help… thanks in advance!

    After finding this: http://www.mattvarone.com/wordpress/list-users-with-wp_user_query/ I am getting somewhere. Have the first part working correctly, but still problems getting the custom posts.

    Didn’t mean to mark this as revolved – still appreciate some help with the custom query!

    Hi looking at the pastebin, it might be this bit!

    get_author_posts_url( $author_info->ID )

    Try:

    get_author_posts_url( $author->ID )

    Hi David, thanks for your reply. That bit actually works 🙂 the author_info var is set earlier on so is all good. The problem I am having is fetching the custom posts.

    I thought it was the author posts link that was wrong, for the lmages, are you not using the Featured Image then you could use something like?

    UNTESTED:

    <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute('echo=0'); ?>">
		<?php the_post_thumbnail( array( 200,100 ) ); ?>
	</a>
<?php endif; ?>

    HTH

    Hi David, thanks again for your reply. I am using a plugin called Types which allows you to make custom post types without coding (take it a look it’s very good.) I have image upload fields for two images for each project and it’s very slick and easy to do – There will be over 80 users that will need to do this very quickly before our show start (14th) so it’s best I keep it simple to people that might not be familiar with WordPress!
