HI,

I created a custom WYSIWYG Editor field called Author Bio (cf_author_bio), and set the rules to show this field group if USER is EQUAL to AUTHOR.

BElow is code i put into my archive.php file (taht comes default with WordPress 3.8.1):

 <?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
            <?php $author = get_userdata( get_query_var('author') );?>
             
				 <p class="pagetitle"><em>Author Archive for <?php echo $author->display_name;?></em></p>
              <?php get_field('cf_author_bio'); ?>

But it is not showing.

I checked under the rules to see if I can show these fields if it is an archive.php file, but dont see an option to check that. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

JC
