How to link to an author

delinea

I would like to place a link in the blog authors so that visitors can see the articles of the author they prefer.
That is, that the link takes them to the articles that correspond to an author within the blog
I don't know why I don't have that option configured

Hi
Open Joomla Contact > Add a new contact item > select AUthor : http://prntscr.com/18vxglr
Save and check.
It will be linked to Author.

Well well. But what I want is that when they click on the link, they go to the articles by that author ... as in any blog or news portal.
I do not understand how to see the articles uploaded by an author

Hi
In Contact item you can display the articles. But it will open in default Joomla contact first, You have to customize the contact item view to get own custom layout.
