Okay, I have an about page on one of my sites that lists the authors, their last post and ways to connect with them.
I have some PHP to do it. However we have 3 authors and it's showing 4. The first result it shows is a combination of the second and third author. I would like to figure out how to only display the 3 authors that are actually real.
http://oi50.tinypic.com/mwfexj.jpg The red bordered author is the one that shouldn't be there. Notice it has data from author 2 and 3?
<?php
$authors = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM '.$wpdb->posts);
if($authors):
foreach($authors as $author):
?>
<div class='author' id='author-<?php the_author_meta('user_login', $author->post_author); ?>'>
<h3><?php the_author_meta('display_name', $author->post_author); ?></h3>
<?php if(get_the_author_meta('description', $author->post_author)): ?>
<div class='description'>
<?php echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('user_email', $author->post_author), 80); ?>
<p><?php the_author_meta('first_name', $author->post_author); ?> <?php the_author_meta('description', $author->post_author); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
$recentPost = new WP_Query('author='.$author->post_author.'&posts_per_page=1');
while($recentPost->have_posts()): $recentPost->the_post();
?>
<h4>Recent Post: <a href='<?php echo get_permalink();?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php if(get_the_author_meta('twitter', $author->post_author) || get_the_author_meta('facebook', $author->post_author) || get_the_author_meta('aim', $author->post_author) || get_the_author_meta('url', $author->post_author) || get_the_author_meta('sitename', $author->post_author)): ?>
<ul class='connect'>
<?php if(get_the_author_meta('url', $author->post_author)): ?>
<li><a href='<?php the_author_meta('url', $author->post_author); ?>' class="website"><?php the_author_meta('sitename', $author->post_author); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(get_the_author_meta('aim', $author->post_author)): ?>
<li><a href='aim:goim?screenname=<?php the_author_meta('aim', $author->post_author); ?>' class="aim"><?php the_author_meta('aim', $author->post_author); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(get_the_author_meta('twitter', $author->post_author)): ?>
<li><a href='http://twitter.com/<?php the_author_meta('twitter', $author->post_author); ?>' class="twitter">Twitter</a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(get_the_author_meta('facebook', $author->post_author)): ?>
<li><a href='http://www.facebook.com/<?php the_author_meta('facebook', $author->post_author); ?>' class="facebook">Facebook</a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; endif; ?>
