   Hi...

   I'm having two problems in author-based browsing of a blog.

   First, it works if the blog is in the root of the domain, like: http://www.mywebsite.com/author/me/
   But it doesn't work if wordpress is installed and works in a folder, like:
   http://www.mywebsite.com/blog/author/me/
   I have a 404 error.

   The second problem is that wordpress is removing the "." from the users, so if my username is:
   firstname.lastname

   The generated link from the template is:
   http://www.mywebsite.com/author/firstnamelastname/

   Shouldn't it be:
   http://www.mywebsite.com/author/firstname.lastname/

   ???

   Hi Nokao,
   perhaps it is because this author has no posts (yet). For this problem I created a plugin which prevents the 404 at the authors page, when the author has no posts:
