ARN Authors is a Vendix Pro Elementor widget of the Newspaper module that lists the writers of a WordPress site, each linked to their author page. It shows columnists with a photo, name and latest article, or author cards with a photo, name, article count and short bio.

Each example below is the same widget with a different Layout setting, listing up to six writers with published posts.
One writer per row, with a round photo, the name and the title of the latest article, and a line under each row.
Framed, centered cards in three columns, each with the photo, the name, the number of articles, the latest article and a short bio.
- Needs: the Newspaper module (Vendix → Smart Features → Newspaper Widgets) and users with published posts. While none matches, the Elementor editor shows the columnists of a sample local paper and visitors see nothing.
- Authors: everyone with published posts or hand-picked authors, 6 by default and up to 24.
- Order: latest article first, most articles first or name A–Z.
- Articles: posts or another public content type, optionally from one category such as "Columns"; the latest article and the count follow this choice.
- Shown details: latest article in both layouts; short bio (up to 24 words, from the WordPress profile) and number of articles in the cards. Photo size from 32 to 200 px (56 by default).
- Columns and header: 1 to 4 columns per device (1 by default) and the four Newspaper header styles.
