Comment (by BackuPs):

 Hi

 Did you try your solution as it does not work for me whereas mine works.
 But still why is not the id set to the query record? That is easy to do
 from within the wp system.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 function theme_set_pre_get_posts_vars( $query ) {
         if (is_admin()) {
                 return;
         }

         if (is_author()) {
                 $author_name=get_query_var('author_name');

                 $user = get_user_by( 'user_nicename', $author_name);
                 Echo '------------> : ';var_dump($user);
         }
 }

 add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'theme_set_pre_get_posts_vars');
 }}}

 That is why i was using this

 {{{#!php
 function theme_set_pre_get_posts_vars( $query ) {
         if (is_admin()) {
                 return;
         }

         if (is_author()) {
                 $author_id=get_query_var('author_name');
                 if (!is_numeric($author_id) && !empty($author_id)) {
                         $user = get_user_by( 'login', $author_id);
                         if (isset($user->ID)) $author_id=$user->ID; else
 $author_id='';
                         echo 'the user id'; var_dump($user);
                 }
         }
 }
 add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'theme_set_pre_get_posts_vars');
 <?php

 }}}
