Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

X3P0: Authors is a block that lets you display a simple list of post authors for your site. This is especially useful if you’re coming over from using a classic WordPress theme and need a block that’s similar to the old wp_list_authors() template tag.

Aside from the full array of normal block design tools, the block lets you choose from several options:

  • Number: Decide the number of authors to list.
  • Order By: Choose from a variety of fields to order the list by.
  • Order: Whether to display the list in ascending or descending order.
  • Has Published Posts: Whether to only show authors who have published posts.
  • Show Feed Link: Whether to show an icon linked to the author’s RSS feed.
  • Show Post Count: Whether to display the author’s published post count.

You can find the full source code for this plugin via its GitHub repository.
