X3P0: Authors is a block that lets you display a simple list of post authors for your site. This is especially useful if you’re coming over from using a classic WordPress theme and need a block that’s similar to the old <code>wp_list_authors()</code> template tag.
Aside from the full array of normal block design tools, the block lets you choose from several options:
<ul>
<li>Number: Decide the number of authors to list.</li>
<li>Order By: Choose from a variety of fields to order the list by.</li>
<li>Order: Whether to display the list in ascending or descending order.</li>
<li>Has Published Posts: Whether to only show authors who have published posts.</li>
<li>Show Feed Link: Whether to show an icon linked to the author’s RSS feed.</li>
<li>Show Post Count: Whether to display the author’s published post count.</li>
</ul>
You can find the full source code for this plugin via its <a href="https://github.com/x3p0-dev/x3p0-authors" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a>.

Recently found out about the original WP Word Count plugin and installed it. Fantastic little plugin. However, then I got a notification about a vulnerability in the code, and found this as a potential solution. Only comment I'd make is that it might be better to name the plugin something with Word Count in the name, so for example "Word Count Statistics" or "Word Count Tracker". I think it's hard for people to find it under the current name of "Just Writing Statistics".


Thanks for making this!
