Wordpress Redirect Loop for Author Link

My site is working fine but for some reason it is showing a redirect loop when trying to access the author posts:

http://superconcepts.poweressence.com/author/maxwell/

 

nobody can guess anything untill you show the code of

author.php (if exists) otherwise
archive.php

 

Ah, sorry.

Archive.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="container" class="clearfix">
  <div id="leftnav">
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
  </div>
  <div id="rightnav">
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ?>
  </div>

<div id="content">

		 <?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>

<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>				
		<h1 class="pagetitle"><?php echo single_cat_title(); ?></h1>
<?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
		<h1 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?></h1>
<?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
		<h1 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('Y'); ?></h1>
<?php /* If this is a search */ } elseif (is_search()) { ?>
		<h1 class="pagetitle">Search Results</h1>
<?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
		<h1 class="pagetitle">Author Archive</h1>
<?php /* If this is a paged archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) { ?>		
                <h1 class="pagetitle">Archives</h1>
 <?php } ?>

	   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
          		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

	        	<h2><a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><strong><?php the_title(); ?></strong></a></h2>

                        <div class="postmetadata"><strong>Written By:</strong> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('M') ?> <?php the_time('d') ?> <?php the_time('Y') ?> | <strong>Posted in:</strong> <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>  <?php edit_post_link(' | Edit',' ',''); ?></div>

                        <div><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
                         </div>

	        <?php endwhile; ?>
	<div class="navigation">
		<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
		<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
	</div> <!-- end navigation -->
	   <?php else : ?>
        	<h2>Not Found</h2>
		<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
	    <?php endif; ?>		

	
		<br/><br/><strong>Can't find what you're looking for? Try a Search</strong<br/><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</div>    
    <?php get_footer(); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Code (markup):

and Archives.php

<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
  <div id="container" class="clearfix">
   <div id="leftnav">
	  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    </div>
    <div id="rightnav">
	  <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ?>
</div>
<div id="content">

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

<h2>Archives by Month:</h2>
  <ul>
    <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
  </ul>

<h2>Archives by Subject:</h2>
  <ul>
     <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
  </ul>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
</div>

Thanks for your help.

 

Can anyone help with this problem?

It's probably just a bug in my code.

 

I cannot access the link you have provided. the code seems OK.

 

You can't access it because it goes into a redirect loop, that's the issue.

I heard that this is a common WP problem, but nobody seems to know much about it.
