Contributors page empty?

I can't figure out what's different between production and staging, but on production https://thenewinquiry.com/contributors/ is empty, but on staging (http://tni-staging.positiondevapp.com/contributors) the contributors are listing fine.

We haven't run the script to copy the role from users to guest authors, so they don't have assigned roles.

Run using WP-CLI wp eval 'tni_core_assign_guest_author_roles();'

Cool. Please note, that users that were assigned to something other than contributor (admin, editor, etc) won't be included when role = contributor. So, you may want to make some adjustments to the roles assigned.

I also wanted to point out that the shortcode and template tag accept arguments.

[guest-author-list] accepts 2 arguments:

• number (number of authors to display)
• role (the role from which to display authors)

The template tag tni_core_coauthors_wp_list_authors accepts an array of arguments:

• hide_empty - whether or not to show authors that have no posts associated with them (default: true)
• description - whether or not to display the author's bio description (default: true)
• number - number of authors to display (default: 200)
• role - the role from which to display authors. If none is specified, all guest authors will be displayed (default: none)

Lastly, if you want to change the display of the list, you can override the template within the theme. Just copy templates/loop-authors.php from the core plugin to the template-parts directory in the theme. Then, modify it.
