Hi All,
I'm hoping someone here has run into and solved this before...
I'm developing a theme for a client (100% custom), and I've created an author.php template and uploaded it to the staging server where I'm developing the site.
However, when I click on the link to the author's posts (generated using get_author_posts_url() ) it pulls up a 404 page.
Any ideas?
All we can really say at this stage is that there's an issue in your authors.php template file. Have you reviewed author templates?

Hi esmi,
Yes, that's where I pulled some of the code from as shown in my author.php file here:

The author link is generated by this code from my functions.php:

Thanks for any further assistance!

I can't see anything obviously wrong with the author.php file. With a very minor adjustment, it worked in one of my dev themes.

So I did a little more poking around on my staging server. Did the standard things you do when troubleshooting,
- deactivated all plugins - still broken
- switched to default Twenty-Eleven theme - still broken
- switched over to default permalink structure (still using Twenty-Eleven)- IT WORKS!
- switched back to my theme - IT WORKS!
So, am I correct in thinking this implies something wrong with my .htaccess file?
Just in case, here's a copy of my htaccess:

I'm pretty sure that's a 100% vanilla WP htaccess file. :-/
Does this spark any ideas for anyone?
Thanks

I think it's worth investigating. The .htaccess file might be fine but there could be a problem with the server's implementation of the rewrites. Do you happen to have any non-WordPress folders on the same site/domain? Or do you have any Pages or Posts with similar urls?
