Author.php not working

  • I have my custom template running and it works perfectly (tag.php, catergory.php) but the author.php does not.

    If my username is “purpledog”, I get sent to “https://mysite.com/purpledog” but, it gives me my page not found error.

    The code in author.php is the same as index.php.

    What could be the problem?

    Sorry, I didn’t get it to be fixed. It seems like it’s not being directed to my author.php file. Any suggestions?

    This is in my index:
    <a href="<?php the_author_link(); ?>"><?php the_author(); ?></a>

    And it’s not directing me to my author.php

    FIXED:

    All I needed was to change my index.php to say this instead:
    <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>
