Description

Hey,

In the old design, it was possible to navigate from a pattern page to the author's WordPress.org profile by clicking on the profile picture. Clicking on the author's username would take you to the author's page where you could see all patterns submitted by that author.

Expected Behavior:

  1. When viewing a pattern page https://wordpress.org/patterns/pattern/cover/
  2. Clicking on the author's username should take you to: https://wordpress.org/patterns/author/benniledl/
  3. Clicking on the profile picture should take you to: https://profiles.wordpress.org/benniledl/

Actual Behavior:

  1. When viewing a pattern page https://wordpress.org/patterns/pattern/cover/
  2. Clicking on either the username or the profile picture both take you to: https://wordpress.org/patterns/author/benniledl/

Verify that the username leads to the WordPress.org patterns author page while the profile picture leads to the profiles.wordpress.org page, and confirm both links on the cover pattern example.
