okay sorry forgot a couple things I had in mind…

a question in regards to organazation…

Every time a blogger writes a new post.. do they keep track of the url?
Is that standard. I will try to make this easier for everyone. especially the owner of the blog, Carl Pitts.

I really just dont want 200 posts on one page, with 2 authors giving 2 completley different views. I think this agreeably is not to much to ask. So Im trying to give this author arhive a try..
Make the Chad ONeal page have all of the arhcives of Chad posts
and the Carl Pitts Page have all the archives of carl’ s posts
i just dont undertand how to make thoes pages use the author.php template. It is not selectable in the template drop down menu.

on the codex page, it only shows how to add curathur string content like name, or birthday or thigns like that

cant i just make the viewable portion of that page
show https://www.pittspolitics.com/wordpress/authors/cpitts7014
or tp://www.pittspolitics.com/wordpress/authors/coneal

I mean you can do php redirects, and add java scripts. If every time you make a post it is its OWN url, why cant you just SHOW the content of that url on the page

First and for-most…my PROFOUND appologies. I am a quick speaker, and I try to write as close to they way I talk as possiable in order to keep a sense of realism. My love is above and beyond that of a little for any one who puts hard work and dedication into anything. Especially anything or anyone helping me. Im a a practical person, I know “it cant be done” when I hear it and thats the same thing my friends and family told me when I was trying to be a man and take on the world myself, RIGHT before I packed up my things with 186 dollars and moved to the other side of the country on a wink and a handshake and built a life from scratch. I am LEARNING how it works, and may or may not “understand completley” ever how it works. Whats its designed to do is irrlevant to what Im trying to make it do. Im an imporvisor, and what better then computer software then a place to improvise. Constructive critisism is relavent to seeking an answer to my problem. If I wanted to “disrespect” any body who took time or effort to help or create this. I would say it directly to them, not disguise it in rhetorical dialouge. So please do not acuse me of being ungratefull. I am big donater in the blogging world, and support any way I “know” how to and always been a VERY generious person. Even though my parents are Caucasion American, my mother was born and raised in India with no running water or electricity until she graduated highschool and moved to America. I grew up in a household that knows a thing or to about gratefullness.

this is rediculous.

Maybe a LITTLE out of line, and if so I apollogize, but it was just an opinion of my “situation”
not a personal attack on anybody.

Have you thought about separate WP installs in different directories for each of your authors with one static landing page that links to all of them?

This sounds feesable….. I think I may have asked about this at some point and time. The question is about the linking…… how do I link someone from “Chad ONeal” buttom up top, to the page with Chad Oneal’s posts.

If my wordpress main page was nothing more then a mere .dwt out of frontpage or expression, and everything underneath it was content that ws views in virtue of clicking links ON .dwt file that is how I would like it to work.
Naturally, when you see buttons at the top of a page

Main About Me Links Archives Author 2

you want to think that each of these is links to a differnt page
Not that these are there own ” entity”
and the main button has all this elaberate looping, but about me and follows are there own thing completely

If they could click the author 2 button, and maintaining the templates see a whole nother loop from a seperate install I am ALL for it. Ill install 10 of it if I have to to have 10 DIFFERENT post pages. Whatevers clever…… How to I make the data.. that I type in to the wysiwig editor ONLY show up under Author 2 and not Main. Its just data, I should be able to make it veiwable anywere????

okay so after learning a little theory, its almost like saying there is NO solution to my problem????. Why cant a “PAGE” show the url
https://www.pittspolitics.com/wordpress/authors/cpitts7014?

I dont think its very silly to have the standard idea of how files are organized to be implimented here, even though i Understand what you are saying.

—–What i need is simple. when a user comes to my blog, i dont want them to see any posts at all from any of my authors. Only the about me section. that has been covered and works fine. then, I want the reader to be able to choose ONE author, and read that authors posts very easily without having to jump through a whole bunch of links and backdoor hoops. Leave comments, rate, share, whatever, only for the. author. Then if they choose they can go to another author and do the same for them. If you goto the site, I have the pages layed out how i WANTED them before your last post. Someone needs to make a plugin that DOES make Pages a place to put specific topic posts.—

Why cant an author have there own space????

So that URL above (https://pittspolitics.com/wordpress/author/cpitts7014/ ) tells WordPress to go get all of Carl’s posts and display them. Simple.

Nobody is going to be typing in this URL.
The only solution I see is to make a complete dynamic web template, dont used wordpress at all for the page, redirect to those pages you gave me links of(the authors) and show the content.

this is rediculous.

why can pages show $cuathor information, but not post information?

How do i make the page Carl Pitts, Only show posts from Carl, not link to his archive page… How do I make the page Chad ONeal, show posts written by Chad Oneal, without having to link to his archive page. I really dont want a Main page at all. the only reason I have decided to keep a Main Page, (which will be called blog news) is so I the administrator can add posts about upcomming changes, etc…

2. After I made the about me page the static page, and then the Carl Pitts page the Main post page(which wil be changed the news as seen above so Carl Pitts page can be used just for his posts) the “home” page button still stays up on the top left, but links to About the Authors..

ANYONE CONFUSED YET!?!?! I am so sorry.. I really am trying hard to understand the heirachy, but it seems like there is sub heirachies and i dont know how to make it call on the ones I want.

at https://www.pittspolitics.com/wordpress
This is how I want the site to look as soon as you type that in the browser

About the Authors News Carl Pitts Chad ONeal Links Archives

About the Authors— The static page, and about me section

News — The Main blog page(if you will)where the administrator writes about upcomming changes, news etc….

Carl Pitts — All of Carl’s(author 1) posts to display

Chad ONeal — All of Chad’s (author 2) posts to display

Links — links

Archives — regular archive format for both authors

To make more effiecent use of the loop I am willing to have the “news” page the “main” page that the loop is in, and just use Category exclusion to elliminate carl and chads posts. I can always add links to each authors posts or wahtever from there. But DEFFAINLY not neccisary.

But the problem, after I made Carl Pitts page and Chad ONeal page
I am not seeing the individaul posts where do I set the tag to actually show the posts for these authors weather it be in virute of the archive templates or what????

Well im little confused as I dont want these to be archive pages.
I want them to be regular pages. Every time an author Writes a post, I want it to automatically go to a sepcific page and no otehr page (except the arhichive page obviously) In the documents I see there for page arhives, it says it looks for author.php first. That file is there but not in the drop down menu for templates. So Im assuming default template and wordpress searches for it first??? Its still not showing the post from a specific author, and all the information that you can show via the $curarch is everything EXCEPT the actuall posts…
