   Hi there, I was wondering how I can make the names of post / comment authors link to their Wordpress Users profile pages?

   For example, is it possible to replace <?php the_author() ?> with something like <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>

   Unfortunately, <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> doesn't do the job as it takes you to an archive of the author's posts, not the profile page generated by Wordpress Users.

   This would be a nice feature to add to the plugin but if you can explain how to hard-code it that would be great.

   I'm not sure if it is possible for the plugin to accomplish this or not.

   If you are using WordPress version 2.8, which if you are not, you should be, you can hard code it in the post template like this.

   


   In the url path, "users" should be whatever your WordPress Users page path is. That will link the authors name on the post to the users page in WordPress Users.

   I am new to php and css. Can you tell me where I would go to insert this code?

   I am using Wordpress 2.8.4 with the Atahualpa 3.4 theme. This theme has a little box for adding inserts into the CSS file. I tried adding it there and no dice.
   Thanks
