Problem:
How to build post author link using author's firstname and lastname
Solution:
You should use view's shortcode [wpv-post-author format='url'] in order to get post author URL and build the custom post author link dynamically.
For example:
<a href="[wpv-post-author format='url'] "> [wpv-post-author meta="user_firstname" format="meta"] [wpv-post-author meta="user_lastname" format="meta"] </a>

Hello
I have a "My Projects Page", where the current logged in user sees all the Custom Posts they have created.
This is a Loop that displays basic info, one of the info being the Author, which is always the Current logged in user.
So I have this code here in a View:
<td style="width:25%">[wpv-post-link]<br> Author: [wpv-post-author meta="user_firstname" format="meta"] [wpv-post-author meta="user_lastname" format="meta"]<br> Author: [wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="nickname" format="link"] </td>
I am trying to:
Make the FIRST and LAST NAME Link as ONE to the WP Author Archive Page.
Just like the "nickname" bellow, which works perfectly.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
I expected to see:
FIRST and LAST NAME Linking as ONE to the WP Author Archive Page.
Instead, I got:
No link..
When I add: "format="link"
To the Short Codes:
Author: [wpv-post-author meta="user_firstname" format="meta" "format="link"] [wpv-post-author meta="user_lastname" format="meta" "format="link"]
The last name becomes first name and they both link seperatly.
Please let me know what am I doing wrong.
Thank you!
