I'm trying to get my authors blog post byline content to link to their archive page of posts. I've got everything working, but would rather the author post link be:

http://example.com/author/firstname-lastname/ instead of http://example.com/author/user_id/

Basically using their display name for the url.

Is that possible?

The current code I have for my byline is:

<?php
    printf( __( 'Originally Posted: <time itemprop="datePublished" datetime="%1$s" pubdate>%2$s</time> by <span class="author" itemprop="author"><a href="%3$s" title="Posts by %4$s">%4$s</a></span>', 'ea_theme' ),
    get_the_time('Y-m-j'),
    get_the_time(get_option('date_format')),
    get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )),
    get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) );
?>
