I'm currently finishing off a WP site (http://new.crainc.com), and want to have custom bio's for team members (authors/users). I've currently got WP writing the .htaccess for me:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
But I want the author profiles to be visible whether or not the author has posted anything - therefore the current default (/archives/author/author_name) won't work as it gives a 404 if the author hasn't posted anything. Ideally, I'd like these bio's to be available at (/team/author_name) or (/author/author_name).
Could someone please help me with an additional .htaccess rule that I need to intercept/rewrite these author requests?
Many thanks,
Jeremy
This is the kind of thing I've been trying...
RewriteRule ^author/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA]
Any help appreciated.

Just a "me too". I'd like to set up user pages, but most of my users won't be posting.
Interestingly, the plugin, Get Author Profile http://wordpress.org/support/topic/39042?replies=12 will show all users/subscribers/authors/admin. I want to use that which would then link to individual profile pages.

I'm having the same problem on my websites. I am using Scott Yangs Permalink Redirect plugin 0.5.3:
http://fucoder.com/code/permalink-redirect/
also read:

But for some reason only the authors pages are shown and not my user pages:
http://www.bangkoktalk.nl/alle-leden/ and http://www.ochblog.com/members/
I see that this is not a real active page, so please comment if you've a solution.
I'm using wp 2.0.2 and working on this problem for quite some time now. I'm not a complete noob but this bug is pretty nasty for me.
Anyone ? :-)
