   Hello.

   I'm using a modified twentyten with wordpress 3.0.1.

   I'm trying to show the author's profile and links when the author's name link is clicked in a post. It only works when I'm using the default permalinks, and even then I only get the last post.

   My permalink structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

   What I want is to show their profile and all links when their name is clicked. I don't want a special page to be created for this purpose, like in this example.

   What I would like to get is something like this.

   This is how my author.php looks like:
   

   <?php
   get_header(); ?>
        <div id="container">
        <div id="content" role="main">
   <?php
   	if ( have_posts() )
   		the_post();
   ?>
         <h1 class="page-title author"><?php printf( __( 'Author Archives: %s', 'twentyten' ), "<span class='vcard'><a title='" . esc_attr( get_the_author() ) . "' rel='me'>" . get_the_author() . "</a></span>" ); ?>
         </h1>
   <?php
         if ( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ) : ?>
   				<div id="entry-author-info">
   					<div id="author-avatar">
   						<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email', $author->post_author ), apply_filters( 'twentyten_author_bio_avatar_size', 60 ) ); ?>
   				</div>
   				<div id="author-description">
   					<h2><?php printf( __( 'About %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ); ?>
   					</h2>
   					<?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>
   				</div>
   			</div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php
   	rewind_posts();
   	get_template_part( 'loop', 'author' );
   ?>
   			</div>
   		</div>
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   And this is the part of the loop.php that (I think) matters:
   

   <?php ?>
   <?php /* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable */ ?>
   <?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
   	<div id="nav-above" class="navigation">
   		<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">←</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
   		<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
   	</div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php /* If no posts to display, such as an empty archive page */ ?>
   <?php if ( ! have_posts() ) : ?>
   	<div id="post-0" class="post error404 not-found">
   		<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Not Found', 'twentyten' ); ?></h1>
   		<div class="entry-content">
   			<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'twentyten' ); ?></p>
   			<?php get_search_form(); ?>
   		</div>
   	</div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php /* Start the Loop. */ ?>
   <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php /* Display all posts. */ ?>
   	<?php else : ?>
   		<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   			<h2 class="entry-title"><a>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   			<div class="entry-meta">
   				<p><br />Published on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>, by <?php printf( __( ' %s', 'twentyten' ), "<span class='vcard'><a title='" . esc_attr( get_the_author() ) . "' rel='me'>" . get_the_author() . "</a></span>" ); ?>.</p></p>
   		</div></p>
   	<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Excerpts for archives and search. ?>
   			<div class="entry-summary">
   				<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   			</div>
   	<?php else : ?>
   			<div class="entry-content">
   				<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
   				<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
   			</div>
   	<?php endif; ?>
   			<div class="entry-utility">
   				<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
   					<span class="cat-links">
   					<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Category: </span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
   					</span>
   					<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
   				<?php endif; ?>
   				<?php
   					$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
   					if ( $tags_list ):
   				?>
   					<span class="tag-links">
   						<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Post Tags:</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
   					</span>
   			</div>
   		</div>
   		<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
   	<?php endif; // The if statement that broke the loop into three parts based on categories. ?>
   <?php endwhile; // End the loop. ?>
   <?php /* Navigation to next/previous pages. */ ?>
   <?php if (  $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
   				<div id="nav-below" class="navigation">
   					<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">←</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
   					<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
   				</div>
   <?php endif; ?>

   I removed the comments-link and edit-post-link because I don't want to offer that facility. I'm sorry for having to post all that code, but I couldn't see a better way of explaining my issues.

   So, I would be grateful if anyone could help me out here.

   Regards,
   Bob

   You know what, forget about it. It seems that I will be not receiving any support, not when I need it at least.

   I'll try to fix it myself somehow.

   Regards,
   Bob

   I have the same problem, and some of the advice I found in the forum was outright wrong!

   Hey guys! I'm using the same template, modified too. With TwentyTen on the site I'm working with, the author page is a little messed up (because I had to move <div class="main"> out of the header and into the page template files. I didn't want the header image on every dang page of the site. Anyway, I tried editing the Author.php file and it has no effect on the author page. Here is the page that is giving me trouble: http://www.bcogwc.org/author/admin/ I've even tried deleting the Author.php file completely and there is no effect whatsoever. Help?

   Battling with PhP myself, I managed to get a list of all posts by the selected author (in the footer of a post) - however, the loop messes up the structure of the page - working on that, but here is what works:

   1) - find/select current author
   

   <?php
   	global $wp_query;
   	$curauth = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   ?>

   2) - Select pages of that author - leave the 'only pages' line out if you want posts (or change it into 'post'). Put this before The Loop.

   <?php
            $args = array(
   	         'post_type' => 'page',              // Only Pages
   	         'author' => $curauth->ID
                    );
          query_posts($args);
     ?>

   3) This is The Loop - I only want links there (no dates etc.)

   <ul>
   <!-- The Loop -->
   
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
           <li>
               <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="" title=" <?php the_title(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?></a>
           </li>
   
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
           <p><?php _e('No posts by this author.'); ?></p>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
   <!-- End Loop -->
   
       </ul>

   It's very basic, but it took me ages to get it to work for pages - and somehow, it now creates some extra sections for each page listed - destroying the layout - but at least the list is there...

   HTH
