 * I am trying to building a page that displays all of the members of my site even
   if they have never posted. I tried the Show users Without Posts plugin as well
   as List Authors Plus plugin and neither one showed those authors.
 * I next added the following to my template and it was almost perfect.
 * `<?php wp_list_authors('exclude_admin=0&hide_empty=0'); ?>`
 * It displayed all of the members, but it didn’t link to their author page unless
   they had posted. How can I fix this? Also exclude_admin=0 is being overridden.
   Any ideas how to truly exclude the admin?

 * You can’t fix it cause there is nothing to see until an author writes a post.

 * Not true. I can type in the URL for the author page and it will display when 
   I go about it that way. Yes, it won’t contain any posts, but it does show their
   profile.

 * If that is what you want then you will need to manufacture your own author links
   with something like `get_users_of_blog()` and not use `wp_list_authors`.
