can I check if it's possible to hide some of the authors and display them selectively? For example, I would like to display Jerrell Seah (no avatar shown) into one of the main 12 who have avatars.
Thanks!
global $wpdb;
$authors = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users WHERE user_nicename != '' ORDER BY display_name");
$i=1;
foreach($authors as $author) {
echo "<div class='col-md-3 individual-author'>";
if($i<=12){
echo "<div class='author-image-container'>";
echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/author/";
echo $author->user_nicename;
echo "\">";
echo get_avatar($author->ID,200);
echo "</a>";
echo '</div>';
}
echo "<div class='author-name'>";
echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/author/";
echo $author->user_nicename;
echo "\">";
the_author_meta('display_name', $author->ID);
echo "</a>";
echo "</div>";
echo "</div>";
echo ($i==12)?"<div class='clearfix horizontal-rule'><hr/></div>":"";
$i++;
}
