 * Hi…
 * I’m having two problems in author-based browsing of a blog.
 * First, it works if the blog is in the root of the domain, like: [http://www.mywebsite.com/author/me/](http://www.mywebsite.com/author/me/)
   
   But it doesn’t work if wordpress is installed and works in a folder, like: [http://www.mywebsite.com/blog/author/me/](http://www.mywebsite.com/blog/author/me/)
   I have a 404 error.
 * The second problem is that wordpress is removing the “.” from the users, so if
   my username is:
    firstname.lastname
 * The generated link from the template is:
    [http://www.mywebsite.com/author/firstnamelastname/](http://www.mywebsite.com/author/firstnamelastname/)
 * Shouldn’t it be:
    [http://www.mywebsite.com/author/firstname.lastname/](http://www.mywebsite.com/author/firstname.lastname/)
 * ???

 * Hi Nokao,
    perhaps it is because this author has no posts (yet). For this problem
   I created a plugin which prevents the 404 at the authors page, when the author
   has no posts:
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/show-authors-without-posts/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/show-authors-without-posts/)
