    I have made a very simple website (2 Pages) using WordPress Waterlava theme. My website contains many URLs, for which I haven’t created a page, but still they open up in the web browser.

    e.g.

    <my website URL>/author/user/

    <my website URL>/category/uncategorized/

    To block such URLs, I tried to comment template getter function names in array named $tag_templates defined inside template-loader.php. But this solution did not work. Any idea how I can solve this issue?

    Hi @aadeemaanav

    To hide author/category page, you technically can use this code inside your theme’s functions.php :

    if ( ! function_exists( 'cusotom_disable_pages' ) ) {
	function cusotom_disable_pages() {
		if ( is_author() || is_category() ) {
			wp_safe_redirect( home_url(), 301 );
			exit;
		}
	}
	add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_custom_disable_author_page' );
}

    BUT I recommend you to search for plugin that could hide pages
    instead of editing the code yourself, because it is easier and safer option.
    Also the codes above only hide author & category pages.
