  global $wpdb;
      echo "<h3>Popular Users</h3>";

  $results = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key='_qa_rep' AND meta_value > 0  ORDER BY CONVERT(meta_value, SIGNED) DESC LIMIT 0 , 5");

      foreach ( $results as $result ) {    
        the_qa_user_link( $result->user_id );           
        echo get_avatar($result->user_id);

  1. Try like this:

    function the_top_qa_users(){
    return "foo and bar";
}
add_shortcode( 'foobar', 'the_top_qa_users' );

    Access it Just type [foobar] into your editor and WordPress will dynamically replace the text as needed.
