This plugin allows you to display an unordered list of post (or custom post type) links (with title, featured image and exceprt) to a specific author (or multiple authors), category (or multiple categories) and tag (or multiple tags). It can be called either with a shortcode or from within a theme file.
To call it with a shortcode, use <code>[latest]</code> below are the attributes you can use with this shortcode: 
* Authors: 
 [latest author=”username or multiple usernames separated by comma”] 
* Category: 
 [latest category=”category name or names separated by comma”] 
* Tag: 
 [latest tag=”tag name or names separated by comma”] 
* Post Type: 
 [latest post_type=”post type name”] 
* Show Posts: 
 [latest show=”number of posts to show”] 
* Show Excerpt: 
 [latest excerpt=”true (default is false)”] 
* Show Thumbnail: 
 [latest thumbnail=”true (default is false)”]
To call it from within a theme template, you have to wrap it in this PHP function: <code><?php echo do_shortcode('your shortcode goes here'); ?></code>

Other plugins output paginated lists of users, but I needed to be able to customize and style this list to fit my theme. So I created this plugin to use templates that can be overridden and customized by theme developers.
To customize any of the templates, copy the file from the plugin’s “templates” folder to your themes “simple-user-listing” folder.
<h4>Usage</h4>
Place this shortcode anywhere you’d like to display a full list of all your blog’s users.
<pre><code>[userlist]
</code></pre>
By default the plugin will print out the users based on the “Posts per Page” setting under Settings->Reading, but this and many other settings can be changed via the shortcode’s parameters.
