Broken pagination

I can’t reproduce this. Can you give me more information about your settings for Edit Author Slug? I tried with a custom author base, with/without front, and with role-based author bases. Everything works for me.

Hi Brandon!
I set the author slug to “utenti“, all the options are unchecked.
WordPress 4.5.2 with the following active plugins:

I tried deactivating custom-post-type-permalinks, remove-category-url and user-role-editor (saving the permalinks after every deactivation) but nothing changed. Only if I deactivate edit-author-slug the pagination works correctly.

Thanks for the helpful feedback. I’ve looked through the plugins posted, and the only one the might cause a problem is custom-post-type-permalinks. However, I still can’t reproduce the issue. Can you provide a real link to the website where you’re having trouble?

If you need/want to keep it private, you can use the form at https://brandonallen.me/contact/.

Hi Brandon!
I can’t provide a real link because it’s still in development, but I modified the author slug to something else and it worked…that’s when I started suspecting of something fishy in the htaccess file and I was right!
There is a very broad rewrite rule that redirects everything except the first author page…now I only have to figure out why it’s there ??
Thank you for your help!
