Author Post Widget – Free WordPress Plugin

April 28th, 2011 by Scott Bothel

Well, sometimes you just can’t find the right tool for the job. In this case, all I wanted to do was display the latest posts by a specific author in a widget. Not complicated, but I couldn’t find a plugin to do it.

So, I made my very first official plugin. And by official, I mean that it works and you can have it too. No support offered at this time, features will be added as I can and then we’ll go for a real release on WordPress.org. Until then, congrats on finding it.

Directions:

  • Install by dropping AuthorPosts Widget folder into wp-content/plugins.
  • Activate by visiting the plugins page.
  • Visit the Widgets page and drag and drop.
