It *should* already do this. When you click on the author’s name (at the bottom of the post) it’ll show the profile.
At present, there are no “links” on author name with the exception of “admin” on the two sites I am working on.
1) site one = the author only appears on the main index. no author name when i click on article. I have already asked the theme designer on this site and have not heard from him.
2) site two = the author names do appear no matter where posts sit and authors are linked but when i click on the name i only get all the posts this author made
how does one get the profile?

from the codex
“See the_author and related template tags for information on how to display this information on your site (and, consequently, how to ensure the theme you use does/does not display any of this information). Typically, themes only display the information you enter in the Display name publicly as field.”
wish to revisit this. i have found the code, now my author is displayed. however, there is no link option. i gave one author a website thinking that would trigger a link to an author’s web site but no, the author’s name continues to display only.
from the link that doodlbee posted:
All of the other personal information asked for here is optional, and, again, it is never sent to any other site or person. It may be displayed on your site, however, depending on the theme you use, so you should test things out with your particular theme if you’re at all paranoid (and a bit of paranoia regarding your personal information is healthy). See the_author and related template tags for information on how to display this information on your site (and, consequently, how to ensure the theme you use does/does not display any of this information). Typically, themes only display the information you enter in the Display name publicly as field.
There is a link within that paragraph that explains all of the template tags and their usage.
