Author Archive page display my username in the URL

  • Hello all:

    When I view my archives page, the URL displays my WordPres username instead of my real name–which is also the name I set WordPress to display in the backend User settings. It displays
    https://www.website/author/username
    Instead of
    https://www.website/author/MyActualName

    How can I change it so the URL displays my name instead?

  • What have you set as your Display name in your profile?

    Hey esmi!

    Thanks for the quick response. In my profile I have the “Display name publicly as” set to my actual name, not my username. Something’s definitely amiss, I just can’t figure it out. I hope someone can help.

    Can you drop a copy of the archive.php file into the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here? Perhaps someone will be able to spot the problem and suggest a solution.

    Until I read your response I had no idea what the WP Pastebin was–still not quite sure–but I did as you suggested because this is something I really need resolved. Thanks a lot for the help. Here’s the URL everyone:
