Comment author link to author.php rather than website url

Hi Tom, hope you're getting some decent sleep these days... I have a nifty snippet that makes the author name in comments link to their profile/author page rather than their website. But i doesn't seem to work with GP. Would I need to put the comment part of template-tags.php in my child theme's functions.php and edit that?
add_filter( 'comment_author', 'my_site_comment_author' );
function my_site_comment_author( $author ) {
global $comment;
if ( $comment->user_id )
$author = '<a href="' . get_author_posts_url( $comment->user_id ) . '">' . $author . '</a>';
return $author;

Interesting, can you confirm that the same block of code is working in the Twenty Sixteen theme?
Nope not working in any theme? What piece of template-tag.php code would I need to use this code below to link the author name to their profile page? (ALL users are authors)
<a href ="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?author=<?php echo $comment->user_id ?>"><?php echo $comment->comment_author?></a>Found it...
paste the follow part of template-tags.php into your child theme functions.php
I replaced <?php printf( '<cite class="fn">%s</cite>', get_comment_author_link() ); ?>
with <a href ="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?author=<?php echo $comment->user_id ?>"><?php echo $comment->comment_author?></a>
if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_comment' ) ) :
/**
* Template for comments and pingbacks.
*
* Used as a callback by wp_list_comments() for displaying the comments.
*/
function generate_comment( $comment, $args, $depth ) {
$GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment;
$args['avatar_size'] = apply_filters( 'generate_comment_avatar_size', 50 );
if ( 'pingback' == $comment->comment_type || 'trackback' == $comment->comment_type ) : ?>
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" <?php comment_class(); ?>>
<div class="comment-body">
<?php _e( 'Pingback:', 'generatepress' ); ?> <?php comment_author_link(); ?> <?php edit_comment_link( __( 'Edit', 'generatepress' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
</div>
<?php else : ?>

<?php printf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', '1: date, 2: time', 'generatepress' ), get_comment_date(), get_comment_time() ); ?>
</time>

<?php edit_comment_link( __( 'Edit', 'generatepress' ), '<span class="edit-link">| ', '</span>' ); ?>
<?php
comment_reply_link( array_merge( $args, array(
