Elite Members is a WordPress plugin for displaying top contributors/authors in a site. Have you ever wanted to list your authors according to the number of posts they’ve made or have you ever wanted to list “last week’s top author” or “Top Contributors for the Year”? This plugin would be perfect for you. With multiple layouts to choose from, Elite Members can display authors in grids and lists.

The plugin is also packed with an author box that can be inserted at the bottom of each post. With different styles in mind, the author box will display links to top social website and author’s biography. Custom fields fields are available for Authors to add their social links from their profile.
