   I've created an aouthors template that works. Now I want to list the authors favourite links in the sidebar. I thought this would work, but it doesn't.

   I've created a links category named the same as authors loginname.

   <h5>Favourites of <?php echo $curauth->user_firstname; ?></h5>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_linksbyname('<?php echo $curauth->user_login; ?>') ?>
</ul>

   Any suggestions?

   <?php wp_get_linksbyname("$curauth->user_login"); ?>

   Some PHP basics:

   1. Do not nest PHP tags. i.e. <?php <?php ...

   2. You do not echo or print a variable as an argument to a function. Simply pass the variable (as shown above).

   Thanks a lot – as you quite easily detected: I'm no programmer.

   Works as intended now!
