 * I’m looking for a simple plugin. I am doing a blog with multiple authors and 
   I just want for the author name to link to all entries by the author. In other
   words, under the title you’d see “By John Smith” only the John Smith is a link
   that takes you to a page of posts only by that author. Thanks a ton.

 * This doesn’t respect the permalink structure, though.
 * I don’t know how well this would work in another theme, but this is how [Sandbox](http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/)
   does it:
 * `<span class="author vcard"><?php printf(__('By %s', 'sandbox'), '<a class="url
   fn n" href="'.get_author_link(false, $authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename).'"
   title="' . sprintf(__('View all posts by %', 'sandbox'), $authordata->display_name).'"
   >'.get_the_author().'</a>') ?></span>`

 * Ooh, actually, that’s deprecated. You can use the `the_author_posts_link()` like
   a normal template tag.
 * From the description:
 * > Echo an HTML link to the author page of the author of the current post in the
   > Loop.

 * this plugin shows the last (x) posts of an author
 * if you want to link name of author to all posts.. you can use this code (sorry,
   no plugin can help):
 * just paste this within the index.php or single.php:
 * `<a href="/blog/index.php?author=<?php the_author_ID(); ?>">View all posts by
   <?php the_author_nickname(); ?></a>`
 * ofcourse replace /blog with your own url
 * good luck everyone
