    Hello,

    I don’t know why these days whenever I click an author’s link (e.g. example.com/author/john), it redirects to the homepage rather than the author’s page with postings below the author box.

    How can I fix this?
    Thank you!

    Just an update: after i uninstalled a plugin: Slim SEO, now author’s link seems working as usual. Maybe some issues with that plugin

    Hi @bwo2024,

    Yes, some SEO plugins offer an option to disable author archives/pages and redirect them to the homepage. You may have activated this option in Slim SEO, or it could be enabled by default. That’s why deactivating the plugin resolved the issue.

    For future reference, here’s a support article that explains this issue and how to fix it in Yoast SEO.
