We still have no posts linked under the author pages of authors with only one submission, and everyone else is missing their most recent post. Can we bump this issue again?

When you are in any of our blog post pages, we have the author grid widget activated. If you click on the authors, you'll see that most of them go to a "Whoops" page.

After trial-and-error, I have determined that all author pages are missing the single most recent post. So if an author has 1 post, nothing shows. If they have two posts, only the first one shows. Three posts, only the oldest two show...etc.

This is not acceptable, as our instructors will be looking for a way to verify the number of posts by authors to assign grade values. Every post needs to show immediately on publication.

Please help!

Thanks,
Jessica

However, some themes do provide "author profiles" below their posts.

We want to be able to spotlight the contributions of regular guest commentators on various legal issues. The MistyLook template doesn't provide an opportunity to do that through the "pages" widgit. We can add them as authors and they would appear along with the in-house blog post authors, but that is not enough of an incentive for lawyers to guest blog regularly for us on a pro bono basis.

Is there a theme that allows for that kind of spotlighting? I.e. one that would allow us to have a list of "WLF contributors" and then a separate list of guest contributors, perhaps with a photo and their law firm/employer?
