Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Authors Posts Widget

Yes. Use the Authors Posts block, or the legacy widget block, which keeps working with widgets you configured before.

Yes. The widget ID and your saved settings are unchanged. New options simply use sensible defaults.

Only authors with at least one published post are listed. Check the "exclude" setting too. The list looks different after updating. Version 2 inherits your theme colors and uses a lighter layout. Custom CSS that targets #apw-authors, .apw-parent or .apw-posts still matches. If you want the old look back, add your own CSS or turn off the plugin stylesheet in the settings.

Yes: add_filter( 'apw_cache_ttl', function () { return HOUR_IN_SECONDS; } ); Return 0 to disable caching.

To protect your database on very large sites. Developers can change it with the apw_max_posts_per_author filter.
