    So, here is what I would like to do: when a reader clicks on a post title to read the whole thing, in that template there will be a div where all the posts by the author of the current post will be listed. Right now I’m trying to technique discussed here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates but it’s not working. It’s only listing the current post. Here’s what my code currently looks like:

    <div id="sidebar">
<?php
if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name); // NOTE: 2.0 bug requires get_userdatabylogin(get_the_author_login());
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
endif;
?>

<?php rewind_posts(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<ul><li>All posts by <?php echo $curauth->nickname; ?></li>
      <h3>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
      <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> </small>

   <?php endwhile; ?>

   <?php else : ?>
      <p>No posts by this author</p>
   <?php endif; ?>

    As I said, I want it to list all the posts by the author whose post you are currently reading, but right now it’s only listing the current one.

    Using the WordPress Default 1.6 theme to test, placed this code right after the <?php comments_template(); ?> line in single.php:

    <?php
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
$my_query = new WP_Query('author=' . get_the_author_ID() );
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
if( $post->ID != $do_not_duplicate ) { ?>
<h2><a href="<?php echo get_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php
}
 endwhile;
?>

    just after the rewind_posts() call. try adding this.

    <?php query_posts(‘author_name=’.$curauth->nickname); ?>

    lets see if it works
