    Once you install this plugin, you may notice that the links throughout the program dont go to the new profile page. Here is how to fix this. Eric, please feel free to add it to the program if you would like.

    in profiler.php, add:

    if ($_GET["author"] || substr_count($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], "author")){
    	add_action('wp', 'pf_redirect');
    }
    
     	function pf_redirect(){
    		global $wpdb;
    
     		if ($_GET["author"]){
     			$user_name = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("select user_login from " . $wpdb->prefix . "users where ID = %d limit 1", $_GET["author"]));
            }
            else if (substr_count($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], "author")){
            	if (substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], -1, 1) == "/"){
            		$uri = substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, -1);
                }
                else {
                	$uri = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
                }
                $pos = strrpos($uri, "/");
            	$user_name = substr($uri, $pos + 1);
            }
    
     		$url = "/users?user=$user_name";
     		header("Location: $url");
     		exit();
     	}

    I'm pretty sure that's what I want to do, where in a post it says "Posted by: Backyard Grown" the link actually goes to the user's profile.

    If you can tell me where exactly to insert this code in the profile.php file I'll run right over and do it.

    It doesnt matter. Just as long as it is in <?php ?> it will be fine.

    Somewhere right after the headers probably makes it easy to find.

    This seem like a cool concept plugin but it hasn't been updated in so long...
