Authors link just goes to home page

  • Hi, I’m not sure whether this is an issue with Social Author Bio or not. In the bio box the link target for #posts just takes you to the home page of the website, not an author page. But, I found the same behavior if I’m on the main blog page and I click the link for the Author’s name (“by <author>”) Again, the target for that link is “/author/<name>”. Can you tell me why these links are not going to the author’s page?

    Got it! Its WordPress SEO by Yoast.

      Go to “Titles & Metas.” Under Author and Date archives turn *off* (un-check)

    • “Disable the author archives” and
    • “Disable the date-based archives” respectively.

    Okay, somebody tell me why SEO sees those areas as a threat. If we are turning them back on what’s the risk? And, how do we prevent attacks there?
