 * Hi [@denba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denba/)
 * There’s a typo in there, `skipt_empty` should be `skip_empty`

 * Hi [@wpkube](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkube/),
 * sorry, the typo was only in this ticket here. – So that was not the issue.
 * [authors_list style=”1″ avatar_size=”36″ show_bio=”no” orderby=”last_name” order

 * Hi [@denba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denba/)
 * Can you try copy/pasting this:
 * `[authors_list only_authors="no" skip_empty="no" include="72,59,117,283,148,139,70,252,103,235,194,192,320,177,244,196,308,68,64,69,225,204,51,90,105,353,53,185,207,93,98,104,112,102,113,233,425,426"]`
 * Try that and let me know if it’s still missing those few users/authors without
   a post.

 * Hi [@wpkube](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkube/),
 * I tried your shortcode, but still authors with no posts are missing in the list
   🙁

 * Hi [@denba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denba/)
 * That’s odd.
 * Can you try changing the `include` parameter to have only 1 ID of an author with
   posts and the rest of the IDs should be authors with no posts.
 * Also, any other difference between those authors that show up and those who don’t?
   Like for example the roles being different?
 * And do you have any other user/author related plugin? There might be some conflict
   in there.
 * And finally, probably most important, are you able to make some minor adjustments
   to the code in the files? If yes, then I can tell you what to change which will
   provide valuable info on what’s going on.
