    I am admin to a book club that has twenty members to it. The site uses WP 2.7 to manage the entire site. The problem is that I am trying to make it where I can show each users information on page. The info that I want to show is the profile info. I have tried the $curauth stuff, but I need to know how to get it to work & if it will work with twenty different people. How will it tell the different people apart?

    I want to make it where I can have the members only able to make posts & edit their profiles. I would rather they not touch the pages. If I can figure out how to bring the information from the profile area to a page then I will be set.

    I am not very tech smart when it comes to PHP or WordPress so when you explain this please break it down in step by step form. Thanks in advance.

    What not just make your users of the Contributor role?

    I plan on doing that, but even as Contributors they can edit their user profiles.

    What I am wanting to do is take the information from the user profile (i.e. name, email, url, about) & have it dynamically show up on a page.

    Ah, then Author_Templates has the info for that.
