ravasthi, how could i list all the authors eg. in a humans.txt file?

@seufelipe just a basic jekyll for loop would probably do:

{% for author in site.authors %}
  {{ author.name }} -- {{ author.email }}
{% endfor %}

Just what I needed. Thanks!

This works a charm - a really nicely little gist.

Awesome! thank you!

This isn't working for me. I am using the exact set up, but cannot render a list of all of the authors. Has this changed? To clarify, I am referring to @keith regarding the for loop. Did that work for you?

@sqorandy, did you figure out a solution?

This worked for me:

{% for author in site.authors %}
  {{ author[1].name }} -- {{ author[1].email }}
{% endfor %}

How to all post by a author

+1 @polodev i need this too. How to list all posts by author with multiple authors PER post. Like one post can have multiple authors ( like in scientific papers) while I want to list all authors in a list with the number of posts that they where writing on.

@keith

@seufelipe just a basic jekyll for loop would probably do:

{% for author in site.authors %}
  {{ author.name }} -- {{ author.email }}
{% endfor %}

A simple loop did not work when I want to loop through all authors.

Its Work!!

{% if page.author %}
  
  {% assign author = site.authors[page.author] %}
  <div class="author-desc">
    <h1>{{author.name}}</h1>
    <p>{{author.description}}</p> 

{% endif %}

For those who don't want to make author pages manually, or need pagination for the author pages, I made a plugin recently. Please check out jekyll-auto-authors
