[...] The enhanced author page (including bio, photo and maybe social media profiles) is the great way to encourage the author to both contribute more (to maintain the impressive online portfolio) and link back to that page (and thus your site) to share that portfolio with his community. Here’s a detailed tutorial on customizing and enhancing your blog author archive page template. [...]

Unquestionably believe that that you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be at the web the easiest thing to take note of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as folks think about issues that they just don’t recognize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , folks could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thank you

I hadn’t ever looked into doing that. I’ve spent a lot of my time optimizing the “About Me” page…and that has helped with reader retention…I just haven’t thought of personalizing the posts.

If I am the only author of the blog do you think it still makes sense to do this?

This is a very informative post on adding the author description and gravatar. I had some problems before about adding description and avatar but with this post, I solved them myself. Thanks!

Franky, thanks a ton for this piece! I was working on author template design for my new theme and wasn’t pretty impressed the way it turned out. I tried way too many layouts and combinations. But this worked pretty well. Kudos!!

Have been battling with it now for hours, but I can’t get a list of pages (NOT posts) per author…

I tried this:
1:
2:
3:
(as per the great Austin Matzko/Filosofo, here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_list_pages-gtgt-limit-return-pages-to-specific-author)
4:

None of them works… either a synstax error or all pages (from other authors, including Admin) are displayed…..
Not much documentation to be found either – it is all about ‘posts’, not ‘pages’ – any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’d like to have exactly the same ‘Archives’ page you guys have here. I want EVERYTHING right from the start with 25 latest updates to archives by date, by category, and lastly by authors.

But how do i do that?

I also tried your above thing for author but no luck. My author.php file says:

Author Template (author.php)

Oops, no such file exists! Double check the name and try again, merci.

I have done everything right. Then what’s the error?

Thanks Franky, for fast response! So far I can’t get it to work: I’m using this line:
“query_posts ‘caller_get_posts=1&author=$curauth&post_type=page&post_status=publish&orderby=title&order=ASC’);” in author.php – it is displayed as plain text on the page, so need to tweak some more.

Jacques, I have not tried it but I would assume that you would have to build query_posts and use the attribute post_type=page. Check also the Codex out on Author Parameters.

Thanks for sharing. However, is this possible for pages as well? My site only uses pages – no posts (as CMS). If I open an author page (http://www.gerbera.org/author/landscape-sa/), I see all pages – incl. the ones by admin (like Home, Contact etc.) – as in the loop, posts are queried.
I tried using , but it gives an error – can’t find anything on displaying pages by author – any suggestions?
Thanks!

Who cares about 'SEO'? A good theme and some basic SEO is all you need. The rest should be content.
