Author pages<\/a>, aka author archives, are WordPress built-in pages which display a list of all posts written by the displayed author.<\/p>\n\n

If the displayed author has no authored posts, then a misleading “Nothing Found” message is displayed<\/strong>. At least that’s WordPress standard. Themes might alter that.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

So you are getting the “Nothing Found” message for authors who do have authored posts? Keep reading to know what is happening.<\/p>\n

With Molongui Authorship Pro<\/a> you have author archives for both, users and guest authors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The plugin allows you to have a guest author with the same data (display name, email, bio…) than an existing user. You might think that’s unnecessary at first, but some website administrators find that useful.<\/p>\n

Display name and e-mail address are the fields used to retrieve author data on author archives. When a Guest Author and a WordPress User share the same display name and registered e-mail address, WordPress User takes precedence and his\/her data is displayed. So, if that user doesn’t have any authored post, you will get the “Nothing Found<\/strong>” message.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
