linking to user profiles

I would like to know the same thing. When they post, I would like to have their user name clickable to reach their profile. ?? Hope we find the answer.

please see how user-profiles/posts is handled on this blog run on expression engine: https://www.thevalve.org/

when you click on an author’s name in the author list it displays first their profile and then all their posts below it. does wordpress have a plugin that does this? this would be a really neat feature for a group blog.

did anything ever come of this search for listing list of authors, an author pages and list of their posts?

i’m trying to figure out a way to do it without making pages with special templates for each author.

You can use the author.php template file, styled however you want.

wow. i don’t know how i missed that.

of course, it’s very confusing but i’m sorting it out. as i go along, i’m drafting a contribution to codex for this.

thanks for pointing out the obvious!

Awesome, nearlythere! A tutorial explainign author.php will be well received!

I added it here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Author_Templates

I linked to it from the Tasks page, and from Theme Development, but I assume it should be linked from elsewhere when it is ready.

I marked it as in need of editing!
