Author Box with Latest Article

Hi,

I want to use author box in a carousel, showing avatart, name and title from the latest article from this author.

I ve searched the forum, cant find anything like that. I managed to find the same function for authors box —

$buffy .= ‘<div class=”td-authors-url”>’;
$last_article = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author = %d AND post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_type = ‘post’ ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1”, $td_author->ID), ARRAY_A);
$buffy .= ‘‘ . $last_article[‘post_title’] .’‘;
$buffy .= ‘</div>

—- ,

but copying this to author box, in any place either doesnt work, or breaks the web site.
Any advice?

Thank you

Hi,

I understand the part of the carousel. But how can i show the latest article title? Without using carousel or anything else. I can just put three author boxes in three different columns, using author id and still do the job i need

Thanks
