 * Hi, a friend of mine setup a permalink structure where the posts are rewritten
   to look like php files.
 * `/%postname%-%post_id%.php`
 * However, the author links are changed to [http://opentray.com/author/Teh%20Blizz/](http://opentray.com/author/Teh%20Blizz/),
   which leads to a 404 error.
 * After trying to see where it would redirect me by going to [http://opentray.com/index?author=1](http://opentray.com/index?author=1),
   it didn’t, so I have reason to believe that WordPress has no support for permalinks
   that look like files, but yet still changes author links as if they were.

 * I have the same issue. Was there ever a resolution found with it?

 * I had the sama problem (wp 2.7.1 running on Windows) and solved by changing the
   file “wp-includes/author-template.php”. At line 422, where you read
 *     ```
       $link = get_option('home') . trailingslashit($link);
       ```
   
 * replace by
 *     ```
       $link = get_option('home') . $link;
       ```
   
 * Hope it helps.
