[Resolved] Replace link to Author page

Hi Dave,

Can I see your site to check the structure?

Oh you just need to link me to a page or post where I can see the author’s byline 🙂

Try this PHP code, just need to replace the 1 in get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) == 1 with your actual user ID.

add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', function() {
	$byline = '<span class="byline">%1$s<span class="author%8$s" %5$s><a class="url fn n" href="%2$s" title="%3$s" rel="author"%6$s><span class="author-name"%7$s>%4$s</span></a></span></span> ';
	$schema_type = generate_get_schema_type();
	 if ( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) == 1 ) {

   printf(
				$byline,
				apply_filters( 'generate_inside_post_meta_item_output', '', 'author' ),
				'https://www.irreverentgent.com/about-dave-bowden/',
				/* translators: 1: Author name */
				esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
				esc_html( get_the_author() ),
				generate_get_microdata( 'post-author' ),
				'microdata' === $schema_type ? ' itemprop="url"' : '',
				'microdata' === $schema_type ? ' itemprop="name"' : '',
				generate_is_using_hatom() ? ' vcard' : ''
		  );
}  else 
	printf(
				$byline,
				apply_filters( 'generate_inside_post_meta_item_output', '', 'author' ),
				esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
				/* translators: 1: Author name */
				esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
				esc_html( get_the_author() ),
				generate_get_microdata( 'post-author' ),
				'microdata' === $schema_type ? ' itemprop="url"' : '',
				'microdata' === $schema_type ? ' itemprop="name"' : '',
				generate_is_using_hatom() ? ' vcard' : ''
		   );
});

You can add the PHP code to the functions.php of your child theme, or to a plugin like code snippet.

Hi Scott,

Let me know if it works 🙂

Can you show me the exact code you are using? please wrap the code with the code tag so it keeps format 🙂

Does that author actually have content published? I was experimenting with an unrelated author page issue recently and nothing showed until content was actually published. Once published content from that author was there it worked.

Just a guess …
