get_queried_object() stopped working on author archive template in WP 4.7

[mekshq]

Hi,

In WP 4.7 get_queried_object() function doesn't work anymore if called inside author archive. It doesn't return anything. Also, get_queried_object_id() always returns 0.

This is working fine when permalinks are set to "plain" (i.e. ?author=5), but not if permalinks are set to "post name" (i.e. author/some-author-slug)

That's what we have found so far. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Meks

Thanks for the report, @mekshq.

I'm unable to reproduce this problem. get_queried_object() correctly returns the WP_User object for the archive author. Can you test this with one of the default themes active and all your plugins deactivated please?

@johnbillion Thanks for reaching out! I have checked again and it seems it is working fine in version 4.7.4, so it must have been fixed somewhere between 4.7. and 4.7.4.
