   On my sidebar i have:

   TAGS
   - Tag 1
   - Tag 2

   CATEGORIES
   - Cat 1
   - Cat 2

   AUTHORS
   - Author 1
   - Author 2

   TAGS and CATEGORIES work fine, they display the appropriate <h2> title.

   But when user click AUTHORS, the <h2> reads just "Author: ". No name shows up.
   What can i do? Is it because i'm on an Archive page?

   My archive.php:

   <?php /* If this is a tag archive */ } elseif( is_tag() ) { ?>
   <h2 class="title">Tag: ‘<?php single_tag_title(); ?>’</h2>

   <?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
   <h2 class="title">Category: <?php single_cat_title(); ?></h2>

   <?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
   <h2 class="title">Author: <?php the_author(); ?></h2>

   esmi, thanks for your reply, but it doesn't help i'm afraid.
   I was looking for a solution on that page earlier today..

   <?php wp_list_authors(); ?> - generates a list of authors. Only the name the user clicked needs to be displayed.

   The 3 following output nothing, since i'm not on a post page, but archive page:
   <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>
   <?php the_author() ?>
   <?php echo $curauth->nickname; ?>

   Esmi, you were right! :D

   I am idiot.
   How i missed the "Template hierarchy" part, is beyond me.

   Thank you so much! :)
