Hi Guys

I've recently installed Musicity template on Joomla 2.5. I've uploaded my content, which was converted from 1.5.23. Content has installed fine, but when I go to a page I get the below error message above the content. When I go to a page where the author is not specified, it works fine. I cannot change the article back to being undefined again though. Any ideas?

This site is running locally on a wamp server.

Error message:
Notice: Undefined variable: author in C:\wamp\www\New\templates\gk_musicity\html\com_content\article\default.php on line 164

The line its referring to is:
Code: Select all
<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY', $author); ?>


Thanks in advance
