    When a listing is added, it doesn’t show who added it anywhere on the detail page.

    Is this correct, or am I missing something?

    Is it correct, in the detail page it isn’t showing the author.
    You can tweak it by adding this

    

    <br>Listed by <?php the_author(); ?><br>

    

    where you want, in the template.
    
Try to add it at the row 355 of the geodirectory_template_actions.php in wp-content/plugins/geodirectory
    
right after 
    

    

    <p class="geodir_post_taxomomies clearfix">  

    

    It will place the author above the Place categories (below the slideshow).

    Thanks Simone, that works beautifully!
    

    Is there any way to use the display name as a link to the user id profile page?
    

    The listings are but one part of a much larger site, and each user has a custom profile page that I’d like to be able to send other users to if they click the author’s name.
    

    I’m assuming that the_author pulls the name from the user id anyway?
    

    Excuse my lack of knowledge, I’ve found trying to learn this stuff like trying to learn Japanese :/
    

    Either way, I’m pleased with at least being able to display the name 🙂

    I would add this as a function, so that it doesn’t get overwritten by theme updates. Add this to your child theme’s functions.php
    

    

    add_action( 'geodir_details_main_content', 'my_show_author_mod', 45 );
function my_show_author_mod() {
	$myauthor = get_the_author();
	$myauthorlink = get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) );
	echo '<p class="clearfix">Listed by <a href="' .$myauthorlink . '">' . $myauthor . '</a></p>';
}

    

    Hope that is ok for you 🙂

    Thanks both, for your efforts. 
    

    As regards John’s answer, it works as I’m sure it was intended to, but has with a link to the author page, which isn’t used on the site.
    

    Is there any way to link it to the author’s wp profile?

    With this you can see all the places for the given CPT
    

    

    add_action( 'geodir_details_main_content', 'my_show_author_mod', 45 );
function my_show_author_mod() {
global $post; 

$current_posttype = geodir_get_current_posttype();

	$myauthor = get_the_author();
	$myauthorlink = get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ).'?post_type='.$current_posttype;
	echo '<p class="clearfix">Listed by <a href="' .$myauthorlink . '">' . $myauthor . '</a></p>';
}
?>

    John that’s fantastic!
    

    Although it’s a little different to what I wanted, it’ll do just fine 🙂
    

    Simone, I hope you learned something here 😉

    Since we are all having a go here, I would just have done this 🙂 :
    

    WP admin > GD > Listings Claim > Show link to author page on listings? > YES
    

    That will only show the author if the listing is verified.

    Thanks Guust, but I don’t want to use the claim manager. It’s really just another plugin that the site doesn’t really need.
