Hi there,
I can seem to find the answer to this seemingly simple question. I’ve setup a blog style site where I have several authors creating new content. I would like to, on the top of each entry display the post date, and author’s name that’s linked up to whatever they entered in the URL field in their profile page as seen here:

http://cl.ly/image/3z2l3L3F3C1T

And here’s what I’m trying to achieve… obviously {author_url} doesn’t work.
```
<span><a href="http://{author_url?}" rel="noopener author" title="{article_author}" target="_blank">{article_author}</a></span>
```
I can’t seem to find the appropriate tag to use here.

I think its simple as
```
{url}
```
At least I got the URL showing up for different users when I did a quick test.

Hope this was the answer you were after.
