   Trying to insert an authors image ... not working. Code:
   <img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/images/authors/<?php the_author_meta('first_name'); ?>_<?php the_author_meta('last_name'); ?>.jpg" class="ImagesLeftAlign" alt="<?php the_author(); ?>">

   the_author is working ... returns the author's name
   the_author_meta('first_name') returns nothing ... it's blank.

   I have tried get_the_author_meta as well.

   I have tried user_firstname and user_lastname also with both combinations.

   Suggestions?

   wondering if I need to have data in author_meta table or something that isn't in there?

   Yes that is the issue ... first/last name field was blank for the author I was testing this on. Marked as resolved, left it up in case it might be helpful to others.
