    Good afternoon!

    I put Your wonderful plugin on my second site using the following code:
    [authors_list show_bio="no" post_types="products,post,blog,book__reviews" avatar_size="200"]
    What do I need to add to the code so that authors are sorted by the number of published entries (from more to less)? Now the author’s list is displayed randomly.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @litbes

    Thanks, happy to hear you like it.

    orderby="post_count" order="DESC"

    Full shortcode:

    [authors_list show_bio="no" post_types="products,post,blog,book__reviews" avatar_size="200" orderby="post_count" order="DESC"]

    Thank you so much for your quick response!
    Unfortunately, this code didn’t work: everything remains as before: https://litbes.com/authors/

    Hi @litbes

    The order is actually by post_count and descending by default, so you’re right, setting those new values is the same as without them.

    A WordPress function handles that specific order. I checked the WordPress code to see what might be the issue and I think it’s because it only checks posts, not custom post types.

    How many regular posts does Pavel have? If it’s 1 then we found the issue. Let me know if that’s the case so I can see if there’s something that can be done about it.

    Yes, you are right – Pavel has 5 publications:

    1 – “post” type
    1 – custom “blog” type
    3 – books (custom “products” type)

    Can something be done about it?

    Hi @litbes

    I don’t see any WordPress filters/actions in that are that would allow us to hook in there and modify that behavior.

    So a different approach is needed.

    We’ll figure out a solution and release an update on Monday. Is that ok?

    @wpkube, can I clarify: what kind of Monday was it? Is it this year?

    Things don’t always go as planned, I apologize, this is a free plugin with free support and no monetization, one of many, todo lists are large, tasks sometimes take longer to complete than anticipated, schedules shift around.

    There’s really no need to be sarcastic. A simple “any updates on this?” would suffice.

    It’s currently set on the tasks for today, unless the tasks planned before it take longer than expected, it will be handled today.

    I’m sorry, @wpkube, I didn’t mean to offend you.

    Your plugin is the best solution I’ve found on WordPress. I am ready to transfer the money as compensation for your unexpected moral damage.

    I offer my deepest apologies. Merry Christmas!

    Hi @litbes

    The update is released.

    Set the orderby parameter to “all_post_count”. Example:

    [authors_list show_bio="no" post_types="products,post,blog,book__reviews" avatar_size="200" orderby="all_post_count"]

    When “orderby” is set to “all_post_count” it will use the post count from the post types defined in the “post_types” parameter.

    Merry Christmas, happy holidays.
