 * So, it seems that most if not ALL plugins that allow you to filter posts by XX
   or YY all seem to no longer support a filter this by Author. I’m hoping that 
   possibly your plugin has a work around for this. It would be great considering
   I have a blog with multiple authors and I would like to show their specific posts
   on their profile pages.
 * I’m like 0 for 8 this evening and have been searching for the last few hours.
   Most of the older plugins I have are longer even supported and haven’t been in
   years.
 * I know that alternatively I could create a category for each author and work 
   around it that way but I’d rather not hack this together.

 * No answer to this one? I’d like to do it as well.
 * I don’t understand how to use the filter capability, though that seems to offer
   a potential workaround.
