Author not showing now I’ve moved site

Saw the same thing on this thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/206615 and it looks like the OP there solved the problem but didn’t post back what was done to fix the problem.

slowliving – I don’t know how you “manually copied the site” but if you check your database, you might be missing wp_users in transfer.

This is code from Morning After theme

<div class="post_meta">
By <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>

This is how it rendered correctly in old blog from source

<div class="post_meta">

This is how it rendered missing author/user in new blog from source

Hi mercime

Thanks for this info. It makes some sense to me but I’m not sure what to do to rectify it!

I have checked through phpmyadmin and wp_users table is in there, and the user is in there (only one user). What settings do I need to check?

Best wishes
