Note that $curauth is taken by my author.php, but not translate into data ! … ???
hello HapaxLegomen,
your code is getting garbled, so i can’t review it. either makes sure to wrap lines in backticks or use a service like http://pastebin.com/
can you send any links to your example website?
i am using the author template with success. this is the code i am using for my author.php, see http://pastebin.com/397539 (copy and paste into new .php document, and save to your theme folder as author.php )
i had some trouble with my author names though, so i link to the author page like this:
<?php the_author_posts_link('nickname'); ?>
and this goes to pages like this:
http://japanese.nearlythere.com/author/heather/
i made a LIST of authors (maybe what you’re calling “membres “) using an custom template, uploaded to my theme directoy, which i called “Authors Template”; then i created a new page, called it “authors” then selected:
Page Template: [Authors Template] from pull down menu under entry text field.
this is the code for my authors template: http://pastebin.com/397543 (copy and paste into new .php document, and save to your theme folder as author-list.php )
please send links, it’s easier to help!
Hello Nearlythere,
I have made what you say but having the same problem : profile information aren’t display.
Go here : http://www.cometes.org/2005/10/17/antony-mckenna-moliere-dramaturge-libertin/
and click on the author link at the end of the page. You will arrive here :
http://www.cometes.org/author/eloise-lievre/
Whitout nothing only posts !
And I must add I will need after to change the url in a french on, whith “membres” instead “author” in permanent link… So much work for this week…
Thankx for your help
can you try linking to author page via
<?php the_author_posts_link('nickname'); ?>
just to see if it works differently.
I have made. It doesn’t change anything. ! :-X I don’t understand. I’m on WP1.5.2.
okay, since it is working with the post listing, i am lost..
this is a silly question, but in your wp-admin area, do you have user information for ‘website’ ‘profile’ filled out for that author?
go to somewhere like: yoursite.com/wp-admin/user-edit.php
Badly, All these fields are full of information.
if you’re using the nickname i don’t know why it’s still getting the authorname with the hyphen…
Because the nickname and the author name are the same. This is a scientific revue, no funny nickname on it… You think it’s the problem ???
i remember reading something about nicknames and author names and the ensuing problems.

i haven’t done any tests myself.
It does seem like there is a problem with the author.php page’s function when an author’s user name and nickname are not the same. Instead of using the code suggested in the codex (http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates), I used the example from http://centripetalforces.com/2005/04/30/under-the-wp-bonnet-2/, which is referenced in another thread. This lets you work within the loop in your author.php page to show the author’s information once, with posts listed after.
