WP Authors provides an “Authors” widget in the sidebar, useful for identifying all the different authors in a multi-author blog. This widget used to be present in the Widgets plugin for WordPress-2.1, but was removed for WordPress-2.2.

Installation is the usual for a sidebar widget:

• Download the zip file.
• Unzip it into wp-content/plugins (or upload the wp-authors.php file into the wp-content/plugins directory on the web server).
• Go to the WordPress “Plugins” control panel and activate “WP Authors”.
• Go to the WordPress “Presentation” control panel and configure the widgets; add “Authors” to the sidebar.

I’ve written this a sidebar widget for WordPress-2.2.

This plugin is not necessary for WordPress-2.1, because it is already included in the Widgets plugin for WordPress-2.1.
