    Basically I am already doing this, but it only counts the last 5 posts. I want to show the views for all the posts.

    <?php
		$author_id = $curauth->ID; // do stuff to get user ID

$author_posts = get_posts( array(
    'author' => $curauth->ID
) );

$counter = 0; // needed to collect the total sum of views

foreach ( $author_posts as $post )
{
    $views = absint( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'views', true ) );
    $counter += $views;

}
echo "</ul><hr /><p>Total Number of views: <strong>{$counter}</strong></p>";

?>

    thank you

    Oh, it seems I found a solution already

    <?php
		$author_id = $curauth->ID; // do stuff to get user ID

		$current_author = get_query_var('author');
$author_posts=  get_posts( 'author='.$current_author.'&posts_per_page=-1' );

$counter = 0; // needed to collect the total sum of views

foreach ( $author_posts as $post )
{
    $views = absint( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'views', true ) );
    $counter += $views;

}
echo "</ul><hr /><p>Total Number of views: <strong>{$counter}</strong></p>";

?>
