Courses Plus Student 24,505 PointsTheme with author list
Hi guys!
Does anybody know a theme which provides a nice author list with avatars? I'm looking for a theme for a community blog and I do not have time to make my own theme. =( Please help!

3,303 PointsHere's one of my most favorite WordPress Themes, yet it is the furthest thing from a theme. It is a complete design management system created for your WordPress site. It's called Pagelines DMS. There is unlimited documentation on how to integrate use DMS, especially if you are integrating with BuddyPress or BBPress (which ever it is you are using to create your community). It also supports multi-site or WordPress Networks. However, for you to get all the features and functionality, you must subscribe to DMS for $30 / Month. I do and it is well worth it, especially because the DMS Developer license can be used ion an unlimited number of WordPress installations and sites.
Good Luck!

3,303 PointsThat can be done easily...no community needed. What you need to do is install Pagelines DMS like you would a theme and get this extension: http://www.pagelines.com/shop/sections/teammate/
Note: you will not need the developer license in this case. A basic or pro license will do the trick.
Plus the blog page can have meta author avatars to the side of the blog post like this http://www.pagelines.com/blog/

Courses Plus Student 24,505 Pointsnah, I'm taking my words back, wpmudev look awful, the design is kinda early 2000s =( right now I'm thinking of this one – http://themeforest.net/item/jarida-responsive-wordpress-news-magazine-blog/4309191

I've got the WHMCS bridge from WPMUDEV and the actual original author, the author knows WPMUDEV copied his plugin. THey're identical.

Courses Plus Student 24,505 PointsWow, wpmudev looks great, I've only checked themeforest, but there is no such thing as "author list" tag :D that's why it's very hard to find something
Alexander Goncharov
Courses Plus Student 24,505 PointsThanks Mike! I'll definitely check this one out.
But actually I'm not looking to create a whole community, it will be two simple blogs (administration blog and community blog) and the trick is I need a page that displays all the authors and by clicking them you can view their posts.
Mike Becker
3,303 PointsAlso have you ever looked into
Mike Becker
3,303 PointsYeah i searched author list as well, but I think most people tag it as "avatar something"
Mike Becker
3,303 PointsGlad I could be of service!
Mike Becker
3,303 PointsYes, that's pretty killer.

23,733 PointsDon't Gravatar, Discus and G+ author profile pics show up easily on WordPress sites, both for posts and on author pages? Gravatar is the default one for WP, I believe.
