 * I am trying to link the author’s name and surname to its right page , like this:
 * posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(‘idmode=namefl’); ?>
 * but it doesn’t work. Is there any way to make name and surname of the author 
   to be on the place of the nickname, in the index page?
 * I’ve been trying for 2 days but still got no rid.
 * Can anyone help me?
    Thanks, ah!

 * By default it shows the “Display Name Publicly Field”. Couldn’t you just set 
   that to be their name?
