Does this work with the “WP User Avatar” Plugin? I am using this instead of Gravatar, and your widget isn’t showing up at all, and I’m wondering if this is why. If it doesn’t work with it, how can I make it work? Thanks!
I haven’t tried it with that plugin, but it should work.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and it works now! Not sure what the deal was, so sorry to bother you.
Love this widget! Thank you!
I can’t seem to get the exclude option to work. I’m adding a comma separated list of user ids but the users still show in the widget. Is there anything I’m missing?
try it with their username:
“username1″,”user2″,”login3″hello gavriel,
thank you for the excellent widget.
is it possible to show only users with the user role= frontend vendor and who has post at the category download ?
how i change the limit from 99 to show all?
thanks for help.
No, it is not possible at the moment.
Great plugin.
But it would be nice if the current author could be highlighted in an easy way.
The core widget for displaying a category menu does help with the class current-cat for the active category.
Good idea, I’ll see if it’s easy to add, though there are pages that don’t belong to a specific author.
Hi there
I installed the plugin but the Cloud view Option is not on the list of Format Options. Thanks for your help
You need to install SEO Tag Cloud Widget as well, then you’ll see it as an option.
Hi Gavriel,
I noticed recently that—no matter what I insert in the “exclude”-field—I cannot get rid of authors in the widget. I tried the ID, the username and the full name in or without double quotes. I always cleared my browser-cache after changes, but nothing happens. I’m using version 2.4.1, any suggestions on your side? And…
…many thanks for developing this plugin!
Sorry for that. I fixed it in 2.4.2
Thanks!
