   What can be done to cause the tag the_author_posts_link('idmode') to return a unique URI for each author? Please.

   the_author_posts_link returns this URI for an author #6, named "Jordan Todorov" : http://www.cinemaminima.com/author/jordan/

   BUT

   the_author_posts_link returns this URI for author #13, named "Jordan Hatcher" : http://www.cinemaminima.com/author/jordan/

   Only the posts of the first author, "Jordan Todorov," are returned at the URI http://www.cinemaminima.com/author/jordan/.

   Author "Jordan Todorov" joined prior to "Jordan Hatcher". Each author's login is unique, and is not his first name.

   Changing the idmode parameter has no effect on the result.

   I don't think you should have 'idmode' there... that's a generic thing for all the possible choices you can see here:

   Replace it with one of your choice.

   Thanks for answering BUT your response does not supply a satisfactory solution --

   -- The problem cannot be solved by changing the parameter. The parameter has nothing to do with the URI which is returned.

   -- The tag -- as actually used -- DOES NOT INCLUDE the string 'idmode' as its parameter -- it was included in this posting simply for the sake of clarity, so that someone who reads it wouldn't have to go to the docs to see the tag's syntax.

   -- Use of any of the allowed parameters makes no difference to the result! I have tried each; the URI which is returned does not vary.

   Please can someone offer a substantial fix, or workaround to this?
