If a username has a dot then I do not see his profile page.
Please see -

Where it seems to be working for other usernames (regular, spaces etc)

When I created a user on my test blog, the posts for author "user.name" showed up here:
http://example.com/author/user-name
Which custom permalink setting are you using? What happens if you switch it to something else, and switch it back to the current setting?

Looks like these pages work without the dots:

http://www.ghumakkar.com/author/tanyas

@Naoko - Strange. It doesn't for me. I am not latest WP.
I have a stage.ghumakkar as well. I am using "Day and Name" preset as the permalink. On stage.ghumakkar, I changed it to "Month and Name" and tried. If again gave me 404. Then I moved it back to 'Day and Name", still no luck.
@ Sergey - Yeah, Thanks. At least for these particular users, I can ask them to use the workaround (use without dot) in their 'website' field of their profile. I utilize it to get the 'href' for their names, which is shown right below their posts.
But this workaround wont help for my 'Authors' (ghumakkar.com/authors) page.

What code do you use to display the profile links on the Authors page? I guess the_author_posts_link() or get_author_posts_url() should return correct results. If there's some custom code to build an URL, perhaps you need to replace display_name field with user_nicename.

Hi all,
I have the same problem. When users name has a dot gives a 404 error.
I using the get_author_posts_url() to generate the url. I clean the .htaccess file using only the generated code and nothing. And with twentyeleven template give me the same error.
Page with get_author_posts_url() function:

Hi,
I see the root of problem but I don't see the solution.
On page /wp-includes/query.php line 2285
$q['author_name'] = sanitize_title_for_query( $q['author_name'] );
This function convert the user name
before: i.larra
after: i-larra
If I comment this line the author.php page work fine.
Any suggestion to solve the problem?
Thanks,
