Profiles?

There was a hack (wp-people : https://www.dean-logan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6 ) for something like the bio / profile, but I’ve not seen that updated for ages. It may not work with 1.2mingus
And posts by author ? Not yet seen …. it has been requested though several times, so it could be coming soon I guess.

Hi again,
What I actually meant was for the authors… Instead of having:
Filed under: Blah a€?? Author @ 2:35 pm
To have the same but with the Author made into a link to the profile of said author.
A bit like the thing that happens on a community LiveJournal. ??

You can substitute the author’s name here with the the_author_posts_link(); function to display a page that contains all the posts by a specific user, from that page, extra customatization can be done on that page by inserting author information after if ($author)…
<pre>
if ($author) {
echo(‘
<div class=”post”>
<div class=”storytitle”>’.”\n”);
echo(‘<img class=”right” src=”images/’.$author.’.jpg” />’);
get_author_bio($id=$author);
echo(‘
<div style=”clear:both;”></div>
‘);
echo(‘</div>
‘);
}
</pre>
For our multi-author site we used a function to display a picture and the bio entered by each author in the “User Information” page.
<pre>
// Show an author’s information outside the loop
function get_author_bio($id)
{
global $wpdb, $id,$authordata;
$query = “SELECT ID, user_nickname, user_firstname, user_lastname, user_nicename, user_description, user_url, user_email from $wpdb->users ” . “WHERE ID=$id ORDER BY user_nickname”;
$authors = $wpdb->get_results($query);
foreach($authors as $author) {
if ($author->user_url) {
echo ‘
<h3>user_url.'”>’;
echo $author->user_nickname.’</h3>
‘;
} else {
echo ‘
<h3>’.$author->user_email.'</h3>
‘;
}
echo ‘
<div class=”author”>???’.$author->user_description.'</div>
‘;
}
}
</pre>
Check out cnwp for a screenshot of that site.

Since I’m new to PHP and CSS, I didn’t understand a word you said. Here’s an easier version that may help some people (also posted in its own thread and to the wiki)

This takes that “posted by authorname” text on your blog page and changes the authorname to a link. When you click the link it lists all the posts by that author.

In your index.php, change

<div class=”meta”><?php _e(“Filed under:”); ?> <?php the_category() ?> a€??
<?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(); ?></div>

To

<div class=”meta”><?php _e(“Filed under:”); ?> <?php the_category() ?> a€??
<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(); ?></div>

The only change is in that fourth tag, and mind the semicolon.

You also link to those pages manually with links to https://www.whatever.com/blog/index.php?author=3
