Actually, don't worry. I used this:

$numposts = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT ID, post_author, post_title FROM '.$wpdb->posts.' WHERE post_status=\'publish\' AND post_type=\'post\' GROUP BY ID ORDER BY ID DESC');

Hi there,

Any tips on how to modify this to display the latest post for more than one author?

In reply to shaun – if you add the code inside the loop you can use this syntax:

So it’s picking up the author name from the loop.

I couldn’t find “username” in the script, so I assume that you are speaking of “user_login” at the beginning of the script. It is simply looking for posts by the author with that username. If that’s not what you were trying to accomplish, please post a few more details and I’ll see what I can do for you.
