If I place just %author-email% in a footer all by itself (and with other post info items), the right sidebar disappears and I only see one post on the page.

Does anyone else have this problem?

You're right, thanks for finding this bug.

I could swear the function I am using for that was listed in the Wordpress Codex but I just looked and it's gone. Will fix in the next version.

If you wish to fix it now, replace in functions/bfa_postinfo.php

PHP Code:

 // Author email address obfuscated
if (strpos($postinfo_string,'%author-email%')!==FALSE) {
ob_start(); the_author_email_antispam(); $author_email = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();
$postinfo = str_replace("%author-email%", $author_email, $postinfo);
} 


with

PHP Code:

 // Author email address obfuscated
if (strpos($postinfo_string,'%author-email%')!==FALSE) {
$postinfo = str_replace("%author-email%", antispambot(get_the_author_email()), $postinfo);
} 


Thank you for referring me to this thread. I replaced the code and still get the same error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_author_email_antispam() in /home/robiblog/public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa332/functions/bfa_postinfo.php on line 84

this is what is on line 84

$postinfo = str_replace("%author-email%", antispambot(get_the_author_email()), $postinfo);

I left an additional bfa_postinfo.php at /atahualpa/bfa_postinfo.php by accident

The real file is at /atahualpa/functions/bfa_postinfo.php

The file in the root directory is useless and will be removed again in the net version. Sorry for the confusion
