author.php and spaces in usernames

however if the user name has spaces in, i can’t use that method

Of course you can, you just need to encode the space as %20

you can either do that yourself when you make the links (blah) or write a simple function that uses str_replace to do it.

ok, i have that working OK but i still can’t get the link to pull the right posts.

for example: i am passing the author login to the link, but… this works:

https://www.copsandrobbers.net/author/Summertime%20Dudes

this does not:

https://www.copsandrobbers.net/author/brudenell%20ents%20committee

i think it would always work if i passed ‘user_nicename’. but do i need to? have i missed something silly here?

bump…
