 * I have successfully installed Coauthors and modified my single.php template to
   show the authors in the byline. No problems there.
 * ex. Post by John and Henry
 * Both “John” and “Henry” link to their author archives,
    mysite.com/authors/john
   mysite.com/authors/henry
 * John’s archive is fine. The problem is when I click on Henry’s archive, I get
   John’s info (name and bio.)
 * The relevant template tags used in the authors.php file are
 * the_author
    the_author_description
 * How do I use the CoAuthorsIterator class to display only Henry’s name on his 
   author archive?
 * And, what’s the Coauthors equivalent tag for the_author_description?

 * Please disregard the last part of my question. the_author_description is deprecated,
   and I found the info about the coauthor meta.
 * But I’m still stumped about how to get the right author information on the author
   archive pages. I’ve been playing with the iterator class but I can only get one
   author name or the other, not the correct one on the right archive. Thankfully,
   the author archives are displaying the correct posts, but my hard working authors
   are not going to be keen to see my mug shot and bio on all their pages! 😉
