How to Display an Author List with Avatars in WordPress Contributors Page

While working on a client’s website, we realized that the built-in function for listing authors was not enough. We showed you how to display all authors from your site, but that method was only good if you want a simple list to display in your sidebar. If you want to create a more content-rich and useful contributors page, then that function is useless.

In this article we will show you how you can create a contributors page which will display a list of authors with avatars or userphoto and any other information that you like. This tutorial is an intermediate level tutorial.

First thing you need to do is create a custom page using this template.

Then you will need to open functions.php file in your themes folder and add the following code:

function contributors() {
global $wpdb;

$authors = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users ORDER BY display_name");

foreach($authors as $author) {
echo "<li>";
echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=";
echo $author->ID;
echo "\">";
echo get_avatar($author->ID);
echo "</a>";
echo '<div>';
echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=";
echo $author->ID;
echo "\">";
the_author_meta('display_name', $author->ID);
echo "</a>";
echo "</div>";
echo "</li>";
}
}

By adding this function you are telling WordPress to create a function that will display author’s name, and author’s avatar. You can change the avatar to userphoto plugin setting by simply changing the following line:

echo get_avatar($author->ID);

and replacing it with:

echo userphoto($author->ID);

You can add more features to this function such as displaying author URL and other information from the profile by following the structure used.

You would also need to add the following lines to your CSS file:

#authorlist li {
clear: left;
float: left;
margin: 0 0 5px 0;
}

#authorlist img.photo {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
float: left;
}

#authorlist div.authname {
margin: 20px 0 0 10px;
float: left;
}

Once you are done adding the function, now you would need to call it in your page-template. Open the contributors.php file or whatever you name the file. Follow the same page template as your page.php and in the loop, just add this function instead of displaying the content:

<div id="authorlist"><ul><?php contributors(); ?></ul></div>

This will provide you with a more content-rich contributors page. This trick is excellent for Multi-Author blogs.

Now here is an example of how we used it:

Example of a Contributors Page with Author List and other Info

If you want to have a contributors page with information like displayed in the example above, you will need to make a few changes to the original function. We have an example code that will get you exactly everything displayed in the image above.

function contributors() {
global $wpdb;

$authors = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users WHERE display_name <> 'admin' ORDER BY display_name");

foreach ($authors as $author ) {

echo "<li>";
echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/author/";
the_author_meta('user_nicename', $author->ID);
echo "/\">";
echo get_avatar($author->ID);
echo "</a>";
echo '<div>';
echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/author/";
the_author_meta('user_nicename', $author->ID);
echo "/\">";
the_author_meta('display_name', $author->ID);
echo "</a>";
echo "<br />";
echo "Website: <a href=\"";
the_author_meta('user_url', $author->ID);
echo "/\" target='_blank'>";
the_author_meta('user_url', $author->ID);
echo "</a>";
echo "<br />";
echo "Twitter: <a href=\"http://twitter.com/";
the_author_meta('twitter', $author->ID);
echo "\" target='_blank'>";
the_author_meta('twitter', $author->ID);
echo "</a>";
echo "<br />";
echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/author/";
the_author_meta('user_nicename', $author->ID);
echo "/\">Visit&nbsp;";
the_author_meta('display_name', $author->ID);
echo "'s Profile Page";
echo "</a>";
echo "</div>";
echo "</li>";
}
}

This code is utilizing User Photo plugin. The twitter field is being displayed using the trick we mentioned in the article How to Display Author’s Twitter and Facebook in the Profile page.

The CSS for example would look like:

#authorlist ul{
list-style: none;
width: 600px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#authorlist li {
margin: 0 0 5px 0;
list-style: none;
height: 90px;
padding: 15px 0 15px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ececec;
}

#authorlist img.photo {
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
float: left;
margin: 0 15px 0 0;
padding: 3px;
border: 1px solid #ececec;
}

#authorlist div.authname {
margin: 20px 0 0 10px;
}

You can display more information if you like by using the advanced code as your guide.

    For some reason – even though this works well functionally – my CSS isn’t panning out. The text/links is directly below the avatars. Any thoughts why? Nothing I do will change it – I’ve tried doing it in Firebug to test out changes but the CSS won’t even show up.

    other than that, works great.

      Can’t say without really analyzing your CSS code. But again, the issue is not with the PHP code. Most likely in your CSS.

      Hi, I loved this tutorial. I had the same problem with Kate, the photo css does not apply (float to the left and sized) and I get this instead
      class=”wp-user-avatar wp-user-avatar-96 avatar avatar-96 photo” height=”96″ width=”96″
      I am not really sure where does that come from, possibly is there a way to clean css from the avatar and replace with your suggested css?

    ok – so I answered my child theme/main theme question on the other post, but I’m encountering another question regarding those pages when trying to do this part:

    “Once you are done adding the function, now you would need to call it in your page-template. Open the contributors.php file or whatever you name the file. Follow the same page template as your page.php and in the loop, just add this function instead of displaying the content”

    There is no page template in the page template file — (I’m using Genesis…)

    I’m not sure what to copy into my “contributors” page…

    Reply
    • Editorial Staff says:
      Sep 25, 2012 at 9:25 am

      First refer back to the other article where suggest that you add the page template in your child theme folder not your parent theme. We are not sure what you called the page template file, but whatever you called it, just paste the div php contributors(); text in that file.

      Page template is what you created using the other tutorial. By adding: /* Template Name: WPBeginnerT1 */ in a php file, you have created a new page template.

    @KayeBarnes I use the get_user function instead that came in with WP 3.1 which has the role and include(or exclude) parameters to filter only a certain role and users by their IDs…example:

    function contributors() {

    global $wpdb;

    $blogusers = get_users(‘role=author&exclude=7,8,9’);

    foreach ($blogusers as $user) {

    echo “<li>”;

    echo $user->user_email ;

    echo $user->display_name;

    echo “<a href=””.get_bloginfo(‘url’).”/author/”;

    echo $user->user_nicename;

    echo “/”>”;

    echo get_avatar ($user->ID);echo “</a>”;

    echo “</li>”;

    }

    }

    This is almost totally awesome, but I’m trying to order the authors (who are architects in a typically hierarchical firm) by a custom field (created with the Cimy User Extra Fields plugin) that has a number in it. So instead of this…

    $authors = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users WHERE display_name <> ‘admin’ ORDER BY ID”);

    … I’d like to sort by a pecking order field that runs from 1-10. Any ideas out there in wpbeginner land?

    Is there a way to order by last name instead of display name? I have the page working but it lists contributors in order of their first name, since I have the display name (for all) set to their first, then last names. But I’d prefer to sort the list by Last name instead.

    When I change the “orderby” parameter from display_name to last_name, I get nothing – the list is blank. It will only display the list when I order by display_name.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      Yes, it is possible to do so. We were able to write a patch for one client which allowed us to show users only with posts. If you look at the function reference and see how the author.php core file is working, you should be able to figure it out.

        Thanks. I’ve done a few hours of searching, but I can’t come up with the correct code. I’ve decided it might be easier to call based on # of posts (where having 0 posts will not display the author on the contributor page).

        Based on the snippet:

        $authors = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users WHERE display_name ‘Admin’ ORDER BY display_name”);

        It seems I would want to replace the –display_name ‘Admin’– line with something that calls the post count. However, nothing I see to do works. Any thoughts?

        • Editorial Staff says:

          You would have to look in the post field to check how many does that author has. There is an example of that in author.php core file.

    This is a fantastic tutorial. This is the first time I’ve messed with the function.php file, and I feel confident to keep going with it.

    Is there a way to have the website, twitter, or facebook (or whatever else we choose to include) information no appear if that field in in the user’s profile page is not populated? Currently, the word “Twitter” will still appear on the webpage even if there is no Twitter url specified. Is there a way to change this?

    Thank you!

    Currently the functionality is set to show users alphabetically.

    What would need to be amended to show recent authors, ie: by activity, or last logged in. I have tried to look in the codex but cant find anything that specific.

    Hi, great tutorial! Thank you. I’m using this on one blog of a WPMU/BP installation so I can’t restrict the list by user role without getting other blog authors/admins listed. Is there a way to restrict by blog_ID? I’m searching around, but I’m not sure what to use.

    I thought it’d be something where the (“SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users WHERE display_name ‘admin’ ORDER BY display_name”) should be changed to something like “WHERE blog_id = ‘4’…” but that didn’t work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

      If anyone has pointers for ordering the authors by last post date, that’s my ideal use.

        I’ve got a hierarchy set up where frequent writers are in the system as Authors, but one time submitters are in as Contributors. I did get this working using Justin Tadlock’s function and restricting the user_level there where the level for the authors list is >1 and the level for the contributors is 1.

    Great post, but do you know how to exclude users with no posts, or below a certain level?

      Yes, you see in the second option, how we specify not to include admin. You can add a parameter like where display_name post count > 0 or something. And it should work.

      You would simply need to change the li values in the CSS to your needs. You might have to utilize inline-block technique to display these. But there is nothing on the php end, it is just CSS.

    That is perfect for blogs that have multiple contributors! All my blogs are written by me, so it kind of defeats the purpose of having a contributor page.
