   How do I get the new meta fields to show up on the author page?

   I set up an author.php file with the standard template from this page, just to get it to show.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates

   I see that I have to add

   # $curauth->first_name;
   # $curauth->ID;
   # $curauth->jabber;
   # $curauth->last_name;
   # $curauth->nickname;
   # $curauth->user_email;

   Problems:

   1. I have no idea what the curauth for the new files I added are

   2.I have no idea how to add this to the php file?

   Hope someone can help.

   Thanks.

   Wouldn't it be the meta key that you created in admin>user meta> user extra field

   For retrieving extra data for any user:
   $user_data = get_userdata( $user_id );

   if your new meta key is country_name, then use:
   $user_data->country_name;

   To retrieving extra data for current user:
   global $user_ID;
   $user_data = get_userdata( $user_ID);
   echo $user_data->first_name;
   echo $user_data->country_name; // ( suppose country_name is newly created meta_key)

   Get data by get_user_meta():
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-meta/ plugin save extra data to usermeta table. so you can use get_user_meta() function.

   $country = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'country_name', true);
   ( suppose country_name is newly created meta_key)
