# Custom Author Listing

 * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/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](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!

   I am getting somewhere. Have the first part working correctly, but still problems
   getting the custom posts.

 * 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; ?>
       ```

 * 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!
