Author Avatars List/Block
This plugin makes it easy to display lists of user avatars, grouped by user roles, on your (multiuser) site. It also allows you to insert single avatars for blog users or any email address into a post or page – great for displaying an image of someone you’re talking about. It makes use of built-in WordPress (core) functions to retrieve user information and get avatars. Integrates with: Gutenberg, BuddyPress, xprofile, Multisite, Wpmu, BBPress, co-authors. Avatar lists can be inserted into your sidebar by adding a widget or into posts/pages by using a shortcode. The plugin comes with a tinymce editor plugin which makes inserting shortcodes very easy. This also provides Gutenberg Block for use with the Gutenberg editor. Please help with the plugin Translations at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/author-avatars. Both the shortcode and widget and Gutenberg Block can be configured to: Show a custom title (widget only) Only show specific user groups and/or hide certain users Limit the number of users shown Change the sort order of users or show in random order Adjust the size of user avatars Optionally show a user’s name or biography Show users from the current blog, all blogs or a selection of blogs (on WPMU/Multisite) Group users by their blog (when showing from multiple blogs), and show the blog name above each grouping. Support users from Co-Author Plus, Ultimate Member, BBpress and BuddyPress (xprofile) Limit the number of avatars per page for large sets by adding a page_size to the shortcode e.g. “page_size=30” (shortcode only) Additionally, single user avatars can be inserted using the show_avatar shortcode and configured to: Adjust the size of the user avatar. Align the avatar left, centered or right. The Gutenberg Block support both single user avatars and role based selections of avatars Please report bugs and provide feedback in the wordpress support forum. Plugin support: In 2011, Ben stepped down as maintainer of the Plugin, handing over ownership to co-author Paul Bearne, who continues to provide support and drive the development of new features.
Published By
This plugin records which user actually published a post, which in a multi-author environment may not always be the original post author. This helps to maintain accountability for who was ultimately responsible for a post appearing live on a site. The admin listing of posts is amended with a new “Published By” column that shows the name of the person who published the post (for those posts that have actually been published). A dropdown above admin post listings allows for the listing to be filtered by a particular publishing user (but only includes posts with a known publishing user). For posts that were published prior to the use of this plugin (and thus the plugin could not directly record who published those posts), the plugin makes a best guess attempt to ascertain who published the post. After failing to find the publisher of the post as recorded by the plugin, it checks for who last edited the post, then who is responsible for the latest revision of the post, and finally failing those, it assumes it was the post author. In cases where it had to go through this process, the name of the person it deduced as the likely publisher appears italicized and with a question mark at the end. If you’d rather the plugin not make an attempt to guess the publisher, you can disable the checks by including this snippet in your theme’s functions.php (or, ideally, a site-specific mu-plugin): Links: Plugin Homepage | Plugin Directory Page | GitHub | Author Homepage
