How to display latest posts with authors image

Question

how can U get latest posts from a specific category and post them with the picture of the author. All authors are signed as an author on WordPress and they all have profile picture. Actually it will stand for columns side like this and the system must get latest 1 first then the second and third goes like this...

Answer 1

You could try something like this:

<?php
$args = array( 'category' => 12, 'post_type' =>  'post' ); 
$postslist = get_posts( $args );    
foreach ($postslist as $post) :  
setup_postdata($post); 
?>  
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> 
<h4><?php the_author();?></h4> 
<?php 
the_excerpt(); 
echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta());     
endforeach; 
?> 

In the example the category id is set to 12 - just replace it with the id of the category you want to use.
