More thoughts… could this problem be related to my import of posts from MovableType? I have had trouble with authors ending up in the wrong places, so I manually edited my import file :( to remove all extraneous groups of dashes.
(MT uses 5 dashes to separate posts and comments in its export file, but I can found a bunch of extra dashed lines in there. I don’t know what they were doing.)
What would make my category and month archives work, but not the authors. Please help, I’m ready to launch the site except for this one thing!
I’m having the exact same problem. My db is also migrated from MT.
import-mt isn’t setting user_nicename, which needs to be fixed. But fear not… If you run upgrade.php, it will take care of setting up user_nicename for all users.
The problem with the author posts seems to be that only the posts made in recent times (those visible on the index.php page by default) seem to be showing up for each author, which is unexpected behavior.
Yes, it’s only posts since about 7/19/04. (Or art least, that’sthe oldest one displayed in an author archive.) What could cause this?
BTW, upon further inspection I think the 10 extra posts are drafts by me. So that number (163) shouldn’t be what shows on the public side, is it?
Also, last night I re-did the import in 3 chunks, isolating what I felt was the problem post, and I got all the right authors in the right places. Hooray! However, this leaves me more stumped than ever about the archive problem.
I’d like to check my code and just make sure I haven’t screwed anything up in my template. Does anyone have a good example of a page that displays archives by author, date, or category depending on the url? i.e.: ‘if’ statements with ($author), ($m), and ($cat).
