    Hello,

    I have followed the tutorial here to add the author to the blog grid:

    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/change-meta-on-grid-blog-posts/

    However, if you click on the author link, it does not link properly. I would like it to link to the author/user’s archive, such as http://jamesattorneymarketing.com/author/lwilson/.

    It seems to be defaulting to “James Publishing Staff” and pulling up a 404.

    Here is our blog grid: http://jamesattorneymarketing.com/education/

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hey Sofia!

    Use this code instead:

    if($show_meta && !empty($excerpt))
{
$output .= "<div class='slide-meta'>";
if ( $commentCount != "0" || comments_open($the_id) && $entry->post_type != 'portfolio')
{
$link_add = $commentCount === "0" ? "#respond" : "#comments";
if($commentCount == "0")
{
$text_add = __('Contribute', 'avia_framework' );
}
else
{
$text_add = $commentCount === "1" ? __('Comment', 'avia_framework' ) : __('Comments', 'avia_framework' );
}

$output .= "<div class='slide-meta-comments'><a href='{$link}{$link_add}'>{$commentCount} {$text_add}</a></div><div class='slide-meta-del'> | </div>";
}
$output .= "<div class='slide-meta-time'>" .get_the_time(get_option('date_format'), $the_id)."</div>";
$author_id = $entry->post_author;
$author_url = get_site_url()."/author/".get_the_author_meta( 'user_nicename' , $author_id );
$author_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' , $author_id );

$output .= 'by <a href="'.$author_url.'">'.$author_name.'</a>';
$output .= "</div>";
}

    Cheers!
