I'm looking for a way to retrieve all authors with their avatar.

I know there is a way to get an authors avatar but I want to get all avatars of all the authors :)

echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID'), '160');

I tried to combine this command with wp_list_authors() but didn't find a way.

How can I retrieve a list of all authors with their avatars?

Thank you!

• author
• avatar
• author-template
• list-authors

• Keep in mind that authors are just users that have posts, behind the scenes wp_list_authors just uses the user API functions, and so can you, get_the_author_meta is just a wrapper around get_user_meta( $post->post_author, 'ID'... – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Oct 18, 2020 at 18:17
• Use wp_list_authors() and put them into an array then loop through the array using get_avatar() for each. – Tony Djukic Commented Oct 18, 2020 at 19:24
• I don't believe wp_list_authors is the solution, that function returns a HTML/plaintext string rather than an array of users – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Oct 18, 2020 at 21:45

I would loop through an array with the authors and then get their avatar and save them in a different array. You can use get_users() to get the users and you already know how to get their avatar.

You can get users using get_users() by giving it an array with arguments to specify what you need. You can see the available arguments to pass in the documentation for get_users(). This will return an array with users to loop through.
