I am facing an issue with my WordPress website. I can see all the links associated to author pages correctly but the link https://humenglish.com/author/ gives 404, which is making troubles in Google Search Console and preventing the stories from ranking. From the code point of view, I have created an author.php file in my theme. Please help me solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

I have a custom taxonomy called “co_writer” which I use to simply tag a post as having been co-written by another author. The “co_writer” terms basically share the same names and slugs with actual authors. For example, John Doe (author) has a “co_writer” term counterpart John Doe.

I need a code that will allow me to also display on an author’s archive posts that have that author’s name used as the term for the “co_writer” taxonomy. So if John Doe has been tagged as co-writer in a post mainly credited to Jane Doe, that post will also show up on John Doe’s author archive. Right now, the posts only appear on the main author’s archive since I lack the code that will grab those into the intended co-author’s page as well.

Is this possible? I was told pre_get_posts might be of use in this case, but I don’t know how exactly I can make it work. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I’ve created a extended user pods with fields and related fields.

In the author.php I’m writting for display the fields:

$nombre_del_autor = get_the_author_meta('nombre');
$nickname = get_the_author_meta('nickname');

echo 'Nombre del autor: ' . esc_html($nombre_del_autor) . '';
echo 'Nick: ' . esc_html($nickname) . '';

What’s the code for the related fields and his fields in the way of use in the templates?

[each coleccion]

<a href="{@permalink}">{@post_title}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;/&nbsp; Editorial: &nbsp;{@isbn-13_ed} &nbsp;/&nbsp; Idioma Original:&nbsp; {@idioma_ed} &nbsp;/&nbsp; A?o:&nbsp; {@ano_ed}  &nbsp; &nbsp;<hr>

Thanks

after updating my authors page is not behaving correctly.

https://gametherapy.com.au/author/gametherapist002/

authors page format used to look somewhat like this:

https://gametherapy.com.au/games-on-offer/

i have compared author.php from current supreme directory to previous author.php and the files are exactly the same.

Му code

<?php
		get_header();
		get_coauthors( $post_id );
		$page = get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    $page_offset = ($page-1) * 8;
    $authors = get_queried_object()->ID;
    $author_id = wp_list_pluck( get_coauthors( $post_id ), 'ID');
		$coauthor_id = join(', ', $author_id);
?>

            <?php
                        
                        $postslist = get_posts( array(
                        'posts_per_page' => 10,
                        'offset' => $page_offset,
                        'author__in'    => $authors,
                        'orderby'     => 'date',
                        'order'       => 'DESC',
                        'post_type'   => 'post') );		
					
									  ?>
                    <?php foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

                   
                        <div class="article_image">
                            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'article_arhive' ); ?></a>
                        </div>
              
                    <?php endforeach; ?>
                    <?php wp_reset_postdata() ?>

Following are the steps I took to debug the problem:
1. Template file that is used to generate author page with 1 or more than 1 post – author.php
2. Template file that is used to generate author page with no post – Does’t exist

How can I debug the issue further and fix it?

So, I’ve recently noticed a problem.

Two users, one with nice_name ‘-4’ and the other with nice_name ‘4’ in the db.

When you call the query:

$author = get_user_by( ‘slug’, get_query_var( ‘author_name’ ) );
$author = $author->ID;

You only get the the details for the user with nice_name ‘4’. The hyphen is somehow ignored.

I’d appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks.

How can I customize the author page of astra? currently if I click on the author of an article, I land on the main page of the website, I would like to land on my personalized page.

Thanks for the help.

what i want : if anyone opens any author’s page, it will display random posts from that author.

i have searched everywhere but i can not able to find any solution on web! so plz help me.

<h1><span><?php echo $curauth->display_name; 
	if (author_can( $post->ID, 'edit_dashboard' )) {
		echo "(".$curauth->user_email.")";
	} ?>
</span></h1>

The problem I’ve run into is that it doesn’t output the email address if the user has zero posts. Is there a way to tweak that?
