    On the author’s page

    website.com/author/name1

    The blog previews have following format:

    Categories
    Title
    Date by Name2

    Unfortunately, the author’s name (name2) is not correct.

    When I click the link of that name (name2) it leads to the other author’s page

    website.com/author/name2

    When I click on the blog preview by title or “more…”, it displays the blog entry correctly.

    What can I do, to fix this problem?

    Does it have to do something with the author or user IDs?

    I don’t know where to look.

    I have the Shutter Up Free Theme.

    Hello @priestofelohim,

    Did you check the users in Users page in admin? There might be some issue with your User, Nickname and Display Name. Please check and let me know.

    Also please share your website url to check the issue. Thank you.

    Regards,
    Sujeet

    Hi @sujeet thank you for checking in,

    I have two users and a test user, but when I go to admin and user’s page, the link to edit them has following urls:

    wp-admin/profile.php?wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fusers.php
    wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=2&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fusers.php
    wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=3&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fusers.php

    On the edit page, there are several options for names: user name display name, public name.

    The authr’s page that has this error is:
    https://priestofelohim.com/author/nadinetpunkt/

    It generates in the description for the preview box of the article a link with wrong display name “benyamin“, for example:

    Allgemein, Artikel
    Die/den Falsche/n geheiratet?
    26. April 2024 by benyamin

    I have the Authors List Plugin but have not activated the author page there.

    It should still be the default wordpress author page I think.

    Can you check?

    Hello @priestofelohim,

    That’s really strange.

    What you can do is, please delete unwanted author from author page, there you will find two options while deleting the author, please make sure to choose the option Attribute all content to: “Choose the right author”. And you can delete that unwanted author. This will transfer all the posts/pages to right author and there won’t be issues with the old author. Check screenshot as well. Please let me know if this worked for you. Thank you.

    Hi @sujeet thank you for this solution,

    I am not aware, if deleting an author will help, because the author has to stay, he is the admin and all posts would be transferred to another author, which would be just a user.

    How does the Shutter Up Theme generate the author page?

    You could look it up yourself, it has the following url permalink:
    https://priestofelohim.com/author/nadinetpunkt/

    Look at the post previews generated for that author. They are giving the nickname of and link to the wrong author “benyamin“, but should instead they need to show “nadinetpunkt” as the correct nickname for that author.

    Hi @priestofelohim,

    There was an issue in the code and it’s fixed in the latest version of the theme. Please update the theme.
