List Contributors does exactly what it says; shows a list of your contributing authors and their posts. Uses jQuery to hide/show their biographies. Allows for rich-text descriptions as well as photographs. Integrates seamlessly with the WordPress User database.

Download

Installation

Get the List Contributors directory into your wp-content/plugins directory either by uploading it directly or using the WordPress Plugin Installer. Activate it and you’re good to go.

Adding a Contributor

The dropdown menu in the admin panel lists all of your registered users by display name in alphabetical order (by their first name; I didn’t think it was worth the effort to join the user_meta table to get their last names first). Select the desired user’s display name, add their biography and upload a picture.

Both the bio and the photo are optional.

Displaying your list

Use either the template tag

<?php if (function_exists(‘list_contributors_handler’)) echo list_contributors_handler(); ?>

or the shortcode

[list-contributors]

to display your list of contributors. Beneath each name, picture and bio will be links to all the posts that they have written.
