How do I link author name to author archive?

[rezawinandar]

I'm using the latest version of Genesis Sample (3.4.1).

First thing first, my author box code in the functions.php file isn't original anymore, I changed it to this:

//* Modify the author box
add_filter( 'genesis_author_box', 'sk_author_box' );
function sk_author_box() {

	// Author's Gravatar image
	$gravatar_size = apply_filters( 'genesis_author_box_gravatar_size', 70, $context );
	$gravatar      = get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'email' ), $gravatar_size );

	// Author's name
	$name = get_the_author();
	$title = get_the_author_meta( 'title' );
	if( !empty( $title ) )
		$name .= ', ' . $title;

	// Author's Biographical info
	$description   = wpautop( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) );

	// Build Author box output
	$output = '';
	$output .= '<section class="author-box" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">';
	$output .= $gravatar;
	$output .= '<h3 class="author-box-title"><span itemprop="name">' . $name .'</span></h3>';
	$output .= '<div itemprop="description" class="author-box-content">' . $description . '</div>';
	$output .= '</section>';
	return $output;

}

It's great, it gets me the author-box-title to be presented in H3 (Genesis default is H4).

But the problem is, it's not linking to its archive page (example.com/author/johnsmith).

I want the author name to be clickable and linking to its author archive page.

What code should be added/removed/changed to achieve that?

Have a look at the function in Genesis for the author shortcode which will include a function for the author archive. You can then use that in your author box code.
