   Hi

   I am new here. I have taught myself to customize WP but have been struggling with this for days.

   I want to hack wp-includes/comment-template.php

   I do not want to change the way anything is displayed (echo or print).
   But I want the url link of the Comment-Author to go to their Author profile page. On my site you have to be registered and an author to leave comments. So every comment author has blog-url.com/author/username page

   But I cannot seem to link to it.

   I have come close by editing lines beginning at 140. But it links to:

   author/Full Name

   I noticed a lot of people asking to do this but no solution seems to have been found.

   Many thanks.

   I'm looking for exactly the same thing. I've searched the WordPress forum for days and have not found any that solves this problem.

   Basically, what I want to do is make the comment author's URL automatically link to the author profile page, and not to the URL specified by the comment author. All registered members are given author profile pages so this should not be a problem.

   Anyone who can help? Please let us know what codes and templates to edit or of there's a plugin, much better!

   Thanks!

   Where the comment is build place this code.

   <a href ="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?author=<?php echo $comment->user_id ?>"><?php echo $comment->comment_author?></a>
