Adding Pagination on a Custom Author Page

Put the following code in your functions.php file.

function limit_posts_per_page() {
if ( is_author() ) // you can limit other pages as well ( i.e. is_archive() ), if need be.
    return 5;
}
add_filter( 'pre_option_posts_per_page', 'limit_posts_per_page' );

Make sure your using the author.php template, otherwise it wont work. Please have a look at twentyten’s author.php for best practices.
