Why is wp_list_authors not picking up Authors from CPT's when I have the supports option enabled? From what I have read elsewhere it looks like I have everything covered but the authors of CPT's refuse to show. I am trying to get the default post and CPT authors to show in one unified list. Could someone show me what I am doing wrong?

Reset to default 0Well, for one thing, 'DSC' is incorrect for the 'order' parameter. It should be 'DESC.'
