   I want to add a link on author name to author's post page. I tried with get_author_posts_url() but unsuccessfully. Maybe someone could help me ?

   Hi Jinxity,

   It's very simple. Open wordpress-popular-posts.php and change this (around line 994):

   $display_name = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $p->uid);

   ... into this:

   $display_name = get_author_posts_url($p->uid);

   I did not test the code but it should work. If it doesn't, let me know.

   Actually, just tested the code and it was wrong. It should be:

   $display_name = "<a href=\"".get_author_posts_url($p->uid)."\">{$author}</a>";

   I had changed the code to have this result but your code is better than what I wrote. Thanks you for your help (I think you can add this on your plugin, it's could interest people)

   Yes, I already added this change to the plugin. Will be available for everyone in the next release. Thank you for your suggestion!
