Author name not linking to author page

[alhkong]

Author name under post-carousel and blog section isnt linking to author page, it is linking to homepage instead.

In posts-carousel.php i found this piece of code which pulls author name and date and i need it modified to link to author page:

if ($show_details == “yes”) {
$items .= ‘<div class=”post-item-details”>’. sprintf(__(‘By %1$s on %2$s’, ‘swiftframework’), $post_author, $post_date) .'</div>’;
}

Thanks!

Hi,
Please find this code :
while ( have_posts() ) {
Replace with
while ( have_posts() ) { the_post();
Hope that should work and let me know your feedback.

Thanks 🙂

I already have that code snippet on line 51 in posts-carousel.php, it looks like this:
while ( have_posts() ) {

the_post();
and it still isnt working, author name is linking to homepage…

This is the code, can you take a look:

Hi,

Can you provide us a site link where we can that in action?

Sure thing, lustrelife.com/news is the site.

Only thing where it works is “Top Posts” section on the right, but that is plugin “WordPress popular posts”.

In post carousel and in blog it isnt working

I notice that you have WP Super Cache installed.
Whenever you do any change you must clear the cache of WP Super Cache.

Yes, i know, otherwise changes wont show.
Any luck with trying to make the author link work?

Hi,
I have changed 56 line of code
$post_author = get_the_author_link();
to
$post_author = '<a href="'.get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ).'" >'.get_the_author_meta('display_name').'</a>';

Thanks 🙂

Awesome, thank you Mohammad, it works 🙂

Just one more small question.Which file do i need to edit to make the same change to the category page (http://lustrelife.com/news/category/shopping/) because author link isnt working there.

Take care!

Hey Mohammad, thanks a bunch for your help.

I did edit that file and uploaded it back, but the author link is still linking to the homepage (i am guessing it is taking author website instead of author page).

Change is done properly (here is a code of standard.php file:http://pastebin.com/57pL2SSt) but it still isnt showing up…Any advices?

Hi,
I have resolved the issue. I edited standard.php at /supreme-child/includes/post-formats/.
Thanks
