How to Modify Author Page for all Users?

Question

I am going to create a user profile page for all users in my blog. I thought, it is better to modify the author page for all users.

<?php
if(is_author()) { 
echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), apply_filters( 'themejunkie_author_bio_avatar_size', 60 ) ); ?>
<h3><?php the_author(); ?></h3>
<?php the_author_meta( 'description' );} ?>

I use above code in archive.php file.

Ex Author Page : mysite.com/author/username

Above link is worked for only authors. How I modify that page for all users even they have not published any post ( Even role is Subscriber).

Answer 1

To get the data of the user displayed on the current author archive page you can use:

$author = get_user_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'author_name' ) );
$user_info = get_userdata( $author->ID );

More info on what is returned: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

From there you can use the user details you need:

<?php echo $user_info->user_firstname . ' ' . $user_info->user_lastname; ?>
