hi,
i’m trying to get some author profile pages up, and have copied and edited the wp_list_authors() function to create the links to the corresponding pages.

in author.php, i have:
```
<?php
if(get_query_var('author_name')) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin(get_query_var('author_name'));
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(get_query_var('author'));
endif;
?>
```
to create $curauth. this is then used to display some simple stuff like the user name and description.

this system works fine, when i use the default permalinks settings; however when i use the ‘month and name’ permalinks setting, it only seems to link to users who have posts.

i have looked at this thread, but it doesn’t really solve the problem (unless i’m missing something!?)

any help greatly appreciated,

b9

bonanza9-
I had a similar need with a site and handled it with the code below:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name); // NOTE: 2.0 bug requires get_userdatabylogin(get_the_author_login());
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
endif;
?>

<?php if ($curauth->nickname=='author1') { ?>
<h2>About: <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?></h2>
<div class="post-content"><p>Description/biography</p>
<p>Author 1 can be reached at: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p></div>
<h2>Posts by <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?>:</h2>

<?php } elseif ($curauth->nickname=='author2') { ?>
<h2>About: <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?></h2>
<div class="post-content"><p>Description/biography</p>
<p>Author 2<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p></div>
<h2>Posts by <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?>:</h2>

<?php } elseif ($curauth->nickname=='author3') { ?>
<h2>About: <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?></h2>
<div class="post-content"><p>Description/biography</p>
<p>Author 3 can be reached at: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p></div>
<h2>Posts by <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?>:</h2>

<?php } ?>

After this, I have the standard if(have_posts) loop that displays out any posts created by that particular author.

What’s most important is that I use the ‘month and name’ permalink settings and this code works without any problems at all.

hey, thanks.

in the end, i decided to have all the authors on a single page:

<?php
// display user profiles
function show_user_profiles() {
	global $wpdb;
	$users = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE user_login <> 'admin' ORDER BY user_url");
	foreach($users as $user) {
	$user = get_userdata($user);

	echo '<li id="' . $user->first_name . '"><h3>' . $user->first_name . ' ' . $user->last_name . '</h3>';

$image_url = get_cimyFieldValue($user->ID, 'PROFILE_PIC');
if(!empty($image_url)) {
	echo '<img class="float_left" src="' . $image_url . '" />';
}
else {
	echo '<img class="no_profile_pic float_left" src="https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3295/2955717038_233f4b54bc_o.gif" alt="No profile picture" />';
}// close get image if

if(!empty($user->description)) {
	echo '<p>' . $user->description;
}
else {
	echo '<p>This person does not yet have a biography';
}
echo '<br /><strong>Email: </strong><a href="mailto:' . antispambot($user->user_email, 1) . '">' . antispambot($user->user_email) . '</a><p/>';

echo '</li>';}// close foreach
}// close show_user_profiles function
?>

thanks for your answer – i’ll check it out
