having the same issue the URL is not even being rewritten
?taxonomy=author&term=cap-user1

Hi, I just wanted to follow up on the question above.

We’re now using WordPress 4.7.2 and the problem persists: No-one but the administrator can access author archive pages like these two:
https://psykologisk.no/forfatter/rebecka-mikkelsen/
https://psykologisk.no/forfatter/johanne-teigar-jacobsen/

Does anyone using the plugin Co-Authors Plus have author archive pages that are in fact accessible to all readers?

Hi @pjkarlsen

Just wanted to let you know I’m working on a rewrite of Co-Authors Plus called Bylines. If that’s something you’d like to check out, you can learn more here: https://bylines.io/

Hi, we worked out the solution. The issue was not Co-Authors Plus, but the NinjaFirewall plugin settings that blocked anyone trying to reach author archive pages. We changed the settings.

Thank you for letting me know about Bylines, looks cool!

pjkarlsen, I am having the same issue, but I can’t seem to locate a setting to correct it in NinjaFirewall. Would you mind posting your solution?

@mlopez71, you need to disable “NinjaFirewall > Firewall Policies > WordPress > Protect against username enumeration > Through the author archives”.
