Post by Author is blank

Hi all, hoping this is a real easy question... When I click on the author name below a post headline, it goes to a page that lists all posts by that author, which is great. At the top of the page, it says "Posts by author: " but then it doesn't display the author name. How could I put that right? Kelly.

For each user/author...go to WP Users and edit your profile. Make sure that all the info is filled out, specifically the "display name"

Hi Adam - I checked that and even when all name fields are present, the template still doesn't show the name. However the author name is shown in the metabar under the headline, just not when you click through. Take a look at www.allaboutagile.com... Kelly.

Check the section.postsinfo.php file for this: ` <?php if (is_author()) { $curauth = (get_query_var('author_name')) ? get_user_by('slug', get_query_var('author_name')) : get_userdata(get_query_var('author')); _e('Posts by:', 'pagelines'); ?> <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?> ` ...Is it there?

Hi Catrina, I don't seem to have that file... Kelly.

Even when you search for it in the theme folder...?

No, don't seem to have it.

That might be part of the problem. It should've been located in platformpro > core > library.

Nope, definitely not in there. Any chance you can send me what should be in it? Kelly.

Hey there Kelly, So can you work with us to get this bug fixed? The file we need to edit is 'section.postsinfo.php' inside your sections folder. This is the code: ` <?php if (is_author()) { $curauth = (get_query_var('author_name')) ? get_user_by('slug', get_query_var('author_name')) : get_userdata(get_query_var('author')); _e('Posts by:', 'pagelines'); ?> <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?> <?php } ` It works on our testing server, but not on yours... are you able to play with it until it works? We will patch accordingly...
