Creating Author Pages
-
I have 12 authors on my site. I’d love to create a page for each one that automatically shows links to their posts. Is that possible? My site is ShortFictionBreak.com.

Hi Jeff,
Sure thing! There are a couple ways to do that, depending on how you want it to look:
One option is to use the Authors Widget. You can add that widget to your site’s header or footer, and it will automatically show links to each author’s latest posts.
Another option, if you want to create a full page with those links, is to use the Display Posts Shortcode. That shortcode gives you a lot of options, but for example this code will show a list of your 5 most recent posts:
[display-posts author="jeffandwendy" posts_per_page="5"]You can paste that directly into the page editor, and use one shortcode for each author whose posts you want to show there. The shortcode will automatically generate a list of links to that author’s posts.
Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
