The plugin uses the WordPress function get_author_posts_url. This provides the link to the author’s page (if they have written at least 1 post).
If this does not work for you the only thing I can think that would cause this would be using a theme that doesn’t support it (doesn’t have an author.php file).
What theme are you using?
I inherited this site – it hasn’t been updated, uses a custom theme and there are a metric ton of things wrong with it, including an inability to create pages. Just checked, there is no author.php file.
I’ll look into creating an author.php file, then?
Yes, you will have to create an author.php file or install a theme that supports it.
If you decide to roll your own, here is a good link that should help you get started: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Author_Templates#Sample_Template_File
Good luck with your site! 🙂
Mmkay – I went ahead and put in an author.php page, according to the WordPress documentation. No dice. Any ideas?
If it helps, this is a page where the plugin is located, sorry – it’s all the way at the bottom of this ridiculously long post:

I’m starting to think that maybe more than just your theme has customizations.
What version of WordPress are you using? Does your wp-settings.php file have a line like below?
require( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/author-template.php’ );
