Wordpress: How get link to author page without author ID?

Question

How get link to default author page without author ID?

I can use <?php echo get_author_posts_url(''); ?> <?php echo get_author_posts_url(''); ?>

and it give me http: //mysiteadress/?author=0

I need link to http: //mysiteadress/?author without =0

Of course I can use something like this:

<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/?author' ) ); ?>

... but if someone change in wordpress admin panel Settings->Options permalink, this solution not be flexible...

Answer 1

That's not possible. The =0 is the ID of the author. if you have multiple authors it could be =123 too. So if you remove the ID from the URL Wordpress won't be able to recognize which author do you want to see.
