Okay so I went ahead and hacked it.. I know this could be turned into a simple plugin and if someone decides to create one using this please let me know. I just didn’t have the time. To use my hack you need to install the “Get Author Profile” plugin by Kaf Oseo… I noted this in the code.
Below is the hack to /wp-includes/template-functions-author.php
version
I hacked the very last “if” statement on the page (line 229).
To use it simply replace this code:
if ( !($posts == 0 && $hide_empty) )
echo "$link</li>";
}
}
?>
With this new and improved code that includes my hack:
/* Kole Hicks ... made the $link bold and added a page break www.kolehicks.com
You need "Get Author Profile" plugin By Kaf Oseo. for this hack to work https://guff.szub.net/plugins/
You can see it implemented on https://www.peachpitcommons.com/?page_id=209
*/
if ( !($posts == 0 && $hide_empty) )
echo "<strong>$link" . "</strong><br/>";
// Kole Hicks ... added get_author_profile function and a used $hide_empty to the for each
get_author_profile($author->ID);
if ( $posts == 0 ) {
if ( !$hide_empty )
author_profile( 'profile' );
} else {
author_profile( 'profile' );
echo "
"; }
}
}
?>
