    Hi everyone,
    I’m looking for a way to display a list of post authors in the sidebar, and link the names to the Authors website URL.
    So far, what i found are 2 things:

    1/
    <?php wp_list_authors('show_fullname=1&optioncount=1'); ?> which displays a list of Post authors but links them to authors archive…

    2/

    <?php
    $order = 'user_nicename';
    $user_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->users ORDER BY $order"); // query users
    foreach($user_ids as $user_id) : // start authors' profile "loop"
    $user = get_userdata($user_id);
    ?>
    <?php echo 'user_url . '">' . $user->display_name . ''; ?>
    <?php
    endforeach; // end of authors' profile 'loop'
    ?>
    which doesn’t work anymore…

    So if anyone can help, it would be more than welcome!

    thanks for the quick reply, but this page explains how to display information about current author (the author of a given post), but i’m looking for a way to display a list of all authors posting on the blog…

    Consider downloading and installing Otto’s PHP Code Widget.

    Then use the template tag, wp_list_authors(), in one of those widgets:

    <?php wp_list_authors('show_fullname=1&optioncount=1&hide_empty=1'); ?>

    Oops, see that you don’t want a link to the author’s posts so try:

    <?php
$order = 'user_nicename';
$user_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->users ORDER BY $order"); // query users
foreach($user_ids as $user_id) : // start authors' profile "loop"
$user = get_userdata($user_id);
echo '<p>Author: ' . $user->display_name . ' Author URL: ' . $user->user_url . '</p>' ;
endforeach; // end of authors' profile 'loop'
?>
