A plugin providing template tags to list all active (or inactive) authors in the WordPress installation.
<pre><code><?php list_active_authors( 'days=30&include_protected_posts=0' ); ?> Will list all the authors active in the last 30 days, not counting password protected posts as "activity". Both parameters are optional.

<?php list_inactive_authors( 'days=30&include_protected_posts=0' ); ?> Will list all the authors NOT active in the last 30 days, counting password protected posts as "activity". Again, both parameters are optional.
</code></pre>
If “days” are not provided the tags default to the last 30 days. 
If “include_protected_posts” is not specified, the tags default to not including password protected posts.
The HTML output is fairly heavily classed, but if you need to adapt it you can. Create a directory in your theme called “view”, and a directory within that one called “author-listings”. Then copy the template files <code>view/author-listings/active-authors-list.php</code> and/or <code>view/author-listings/inactive-authors-list.php</code> from the plugin directory into your theme directory and amend as you need. If these files exist in these directories in your theme they will override the ones in the plugin directory. This is good because it means that when you update the plugin you can simply overwrite the old plugin directory as you haven’t changed any files in it. All hail <a href="http://urbangiraffe.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">John Godley</a> for the code which allows this magic to happen. Can hook into the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-photo/" rel="ugc">User Photo plugin</a> to display the author photos.

Easily calculate and handle authors’ pay on a multi-author blog. Set up payment criteria and let the plugin compute posts payment. Stats are immediately viewable. Both a general view with all users and a specific one for each author are available. It can easily help you implement a revenue sharing/paid to write model for your business.
<a href="https://postpaycounter.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Plugin HOMEPAGE</a>
Features include:
<ul>
<li>Pay per post, word, visit (<a href="https://postpaycounter.com/pay-writers-per-visit-wordpress?utm_source=wprep&utm_medium=link" rel="nofollow ugc">tutorial</a>), image and comment (not mutually exclusive).</li>
<li>Pay with an incremental system (eg. each word is €0.01 => 100 words = €1) or with a zonal one (eg. from 200 to 300 words/visits it’s €2.00, up to 10 zones).</li>
<li>No account needed. Data is yours, no need to sign-up to anything really.</li>
<li>Old stats availability. View posts countings since the first written post, disregarding the plugin install date. A fancy date picker lets you shift between days and select the desired range, or pick a ready choice (such as This month, Last month…).</li>
<li>Responsive and sortable stats: optimized stats page for mobile devices and sortable stats table.</li>
<li>Personalize user’s settings, so that special settings only apply to a particular user. Different settings can be made apparent in the stats or hidden depending on your needs.</li>
<li>Customizable permissions to prevent your users to see stats and use functions they are not supposed to.</li>
<li>Extend with your own custom implementation through hooks, filters and special API features (<a href="https://postpaycounter.com/add-custom-payment-types-post-pay-counter-stats?utm_source=wprep&utm_medium=link" rel="nofollow ugc">learn more</a>).</li>
<li>And… works with custom post types, narrow your payments only to chosen user groups, supports pagination, and even more!</li>
