  1. Hi there Brad, thank you for sharing this. I’m trying to add a piece of code that it only finds contributors for a custom post type called ‘article’. To count only articles posted and not blog ‘posts’. Can you advise me on how to do this?
    I tried adding ‘post_type’ => ‘article’, to the $contributor_ids array but then got stuck as I don’t know much about customising like this.
    Thanks,
    Cathie.

    • Hi Cathie

      1. There is no $post_type parameter for get_users or WP_User_Query so that won’t work.

      Should be added as an enhancement to the WordPress core.

      2. The good news is the code also includes a secondary function named count_users_posts which now supports post types since WordPress 4.1 was released.

      See this line in the template around line 17: 

      $post_count = count_user_posts( $contributor_id );

      Simply add your post type as the second parameter by replacing $post_type with the name of your custom post type:

      $post_count = count_user_posts( $contributor_id, $post_type );

      This is what you will need:

      $post_count = count_user_posts( $contributor_id, 'article' );

  2. Hi Brad,

    I’m trying to do this in a widget, basically to create a section on my home page. How can I modify the code to achieve that?

    I’m also wanting to show name (linked to author archive), avatar, bio and 3-4 images (which I’d like to add as custom profile fields). I can figure that out, though any tips or pitfalls to watch out for would be helpful.
