Hello

I’m trying to add a filter on get_the_author_link or the_author_link.

This is the function from author-template.php :

function get_the_author_link() {
	if ( get_the_author_meta('url') ) {
		return '<a href="' . get_the_author_meta('url') . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf(__("Visit %s’s website"), get_the_author()) ) . '" rel="external">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';
	} else {
		return get_the_author();
	}
}

if get_the_author_meta(‘url’) is empty, only the author name will be returned.

I want to add a filter to add another link. Function like this :

function my_get_the_author_link() {
	if ( get_the_author_meta('url') ) {
		return '<a href="' . get_the_author_meta('url') . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf(__("Visit %s’s website"), get_the_author()) ) . '" rel="author">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';
	} else {
		return '<a href="' . home_url() . '/author/. get_the_author_meta('ID') . " title="' . esc_attr( sprintf(__("Visit %s’s website"), get_the_author()) ) . '" rel="author">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';
	}
}

So i NEED to filter this function, because i need to modify too the “rel” microformat oncluded in the A tag.

Thank you 🙂
