How to get author's post routed to archive page
Hi all. I am using <txp:author link="1"/> and I get a link like:
<a href="http://mywebsite.com/author/FirstName+SecondName/">FirstName SecondName</a>But when I click on it I go to the home page. How is it expected I handle this link?
Must I create a specific archive page? I mean, how should I manage its routing?

Re: How to get author's post routed to archive page
The tag works more or less like the <txp:category /> tag. So you can use section or this_section to direct the link to a section page, and on the page template where the link goes you need a <txp:article / > tag. A page like /site.com/section/?author=Author+Name will then display the articles by that author.
If you are using conditionals like if_category, if_search on the page, you might want to add if_author.
