   Hi,
   I've created a category-XX.php and placed it but my the_author tag does not seem to show. However on other pages it shows.

   check this out: http://beta.boontan.net/category/reviews/
   I'd like it to look like "http://beta.boontan.net/anime-review/"

   browse the other categories like Anime updates(under Navbar)and you can see the_author tag there.

   This is my code:
   

   <?php get_header();
   ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
   		<div class="archive">
   			<p /><h2>Reviews</h2>
   			<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=17&showposts=-1&orderby=title&order=asc"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
   
   		<?php the_title(); ?> <a>"> - <?php the_author(); ?> </a>
   
   			<?php endwhile; ?>
   
   	</div>
   
   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar.php");?>
   
   </div>
   
   <!-- The main column ends  -->
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   It does not appear to work on your post pages either. Examine this page:
   http://beta.boontan.net/2008/08/01/air/

   At the bottom, it shows "Written by · Filed Under Reviews, Z.N Singer". I assume that is supposed to have the author there after the written by?

   The_author shows the display name of the user by default. Verify that the user has set their display name to something not blank in their profile.
