    In my theme it doesnt link the author in the meta anywhere and they arent willing to help because the theme isnt “broken” – they dont provide it. How can I add this?

    Hello NoahCurran,

    If you’re comfortable editing templates you can get the author name to link to an archive of the authors posts using the following snippet:

    <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>"><?php the_author_meta( 'display_name' ); ?></a>

    You may need to check the styling of the archive page once it works. If the theme creator doesn’t support linking to author archives it may look a little odd. Let me know if this helps!
