"\n";<br /> $content .= "\t" . "\t";<br /> // the class containing the gravatar<br /> $content .= '&lt;div class="author_gravatar"&gt;' . "\n";<br /> $content .= "\t" . "\t" . "\t";<br /> $content .= str_replace( "class='avatar", "class='photo avatar", get_avatar(get_the_author_email()) ) . "\n";<br /> $content .= "\t" . "\t";<br /> $content .= '&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- #author_gravatar --&gt;' . "\n";<br /> $content .= "\t" . "\t";<br /> // the class containing the author's name and bio<br /> $content .= '&lt;div class="author_bio"&gt;' . "\n";<br /> $content .= "\t" . "\t" . "\t";<br /> // we're getting the name<br /> $content .= '<strong>' . get_the_author() . '</strong>' . "\n";<br /> $content .= "\t" . "\t" . "\t";<br /> // we're getting the bio<br /> $content .= get_the_author_description() . "\n";<br /> $content .= "\t" . "\t";<br /> $content .= '&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- #author_bio --&gt;' . "\n";<br /> $content .= "\t";<br /> $content .= '&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- #author_info --&gt;' . "\n";<br /> }<br /> // we need to return the postfooter content anyway<br /> return $content;<br /> }<br /> // add the filter function to the main function<br /> add_filter('thematic_postfooter', 'childtheme_postfooter');</code></p> <p>How can I add the link to the author archives? </p> <p>Many thanks for your help. </p>
