  How can I create a dynamic link on the ‘about’ page that will allow a user to click on any individual author’s name and be directed to a list of all posts by that author?
  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there! We create an author link for every author on a blog. You can find it by adding /author/username to the end of your site’s URL, like this:

  https://portraitofthescientist.wordpress.com/author/amja22/

  is this what you’re looking for?

  Thanks, that is almost what I’m looking for – but that seems to work only for the username, not for the pseudonyms that we blog with. Any tricks for that?
  Thanks again.

  You could create your own pages with the display names as the slug and put the display posts shortcode into each post with the author set.

  Display Posts Shortcode

  However, the display posts shortcode shows a maximum of 100 posts and doesn’t format the same way as your recent posts page or the author archives I linked to.
