Comment (by hopetommola):

 I edited the page template in 2014 to insert a list of authors:

 {{{
 <ul>
 <?php wp_list_authors('exclude_admin=0&hide_empty=0'); ?>
 </ul>
 }}}

 All of the Authors with missing Author Archives have "Firstname Lastname"
 in the URL. Caps and a space. Space renders as %20 and archive doesn't
 work.

 All the Authors which work have the URL as "firstname-lastname".

 All users were added through an LDAP connection using Simple LDAP Login
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-ldap-login/], with a default role of
 subscriber. However, they're not elevated to Author until they're users in
 WP. And all details of their profiles look the same in WP admin.

 Thoughts?
