 * How would I modify the below shortcode to list multiple roles ie subscriber, 
   editor, contributor?
    [userlist role=”author” number=”5″]
 * Thanks.

 * You can’t. Simple User Listing uses [`WP_User_Query`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query#User_Role_Parameter)
   which does not support querying multiple roles.
