I found this code but it still doesn’t do what I want. I would like to exclude some authors from the list and the order to be by the most recent published posts, not by post count.

Here is the code:

<div class="authorsContainer">

            <?php
                //define vars from user selection
                $howManyAuthors = 50;

                //Get users and count of posts put into array
                $authorsArray=array();
                $blogusers = get_users_of_blog();
                if ($blogusers) {
                  foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) {
                    $post_count = get_usernumposts($bloguser->user_id);
                    $authorsArray[$bloguser->user_id]=$post_count;
                  }
                  arsort($authorsArray);
                  $maxauthor = $howManyAuthors;
                  $count=0;
                  foreach ($authorsArray as $key => $value) {
                  $count++;
                    if ($count <= $maxauthor) {
                        $user = get_userdata($key);
                        $username = $user->user_login;
                        $displayname = $user->display_name;
                        $author_posts_url = get_author_posts_url($key);
                        $post_count = $value;

            ?>
                    <div class="topWriterBox">
                        <div class="topWriterName">
                            <a href="<?php echo $author_posts_url; ?>"><?php echo $displayname; ?> </a>
                        </div>
                        <div class="topWriterArticles"><?php echo __('Published: ', '').$post_count.__(' Articles', ''); ?></div>
                        <br class="clr" />

                        <h4><?php _e('Latest Article:', ''); ?></h4>

                        <ul>
                        <?php
                          $args=array(
                            'showposts'=>1,
                            'author'=>$user->ID,
                            'caller_get_posts'=>1
                          );
                          $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
                          if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
                            while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
                        ?>

                        <!--============ THE AUTHORS ARTICLE DATA ================-->
                            <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permenent Link To <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <small>(<?php the_time('m.d.y') ?></small>)</li>  

                      <?php
                            endwhile;
                         }
                      ?>
                      </ul>
                    </div><!-- end of topWriterBox -->
                    <?php
                }
              }
            }
            ?>

        </div>

Thanks for your help!

I removed it, same result, blank page…

Just so you know, my main loop is this one below (you helped me about it a while ago, it worked fine to avoid duplicates but now it doesn’t work anymore, I don’t why, but it’s another matter):

<?php global $do_not_duplicate; ?>
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query(array('posts_per_page' => 5, 'cat' => 1, 'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' )) );
	while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
	$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID; ?>

Then:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

<?php
$all_the_tags = get_the_tags();
foreach($all_the_tags as $this_tag) {
	if ($this_tag->name == "sometag" ) {
?>

<p>Name of my tag</p>

<?php 	} else if ($this_tag->name == "someothertag" ) { ?>

<p>Name of the other tag</p>

<?php 	} else {
		// it's neither, do nothing
?>
		<!-- not tagged as one or the other -->
<?
	}
}
}
?>

<?php $i++; ?>
<?php endwhile;?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

And that doesn’t work, blank page. 🙂

Hi Harish, thanks for your reply. I thought it would easier to do because it is ‘only’ some text to add when there is no count yet, to invite people to ‘like’ the post.

Unfortunately, I am not enough familiar with coding to edit your plugin. So I will use your great plugin as is. It works perfectly, my request was only aimed to make it even ‘better’, if possible 😉

Great, thank you! 🙂

Hi there, any news from the author of the plugin? 🙂

Thanks! I did what you explained, I chose No, selected the black color #00000 and saved the template but now I get a yellow bar:

<div id=”yop-poll-result-bar-div-2″ class=”yop-poll-result-bar-div-1″ style=”width:45%; height:10px; background-color:#FBD55E; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#EDB918; “></div>

I didn’t set any yellow color anywhere and the #000000 has been correctly saved but it keep showing yellow?!

Weird, isn’t it?

Ok, &new was the problem, I solved it!
