Removing the Author Page

  • Hello,

    Just wondering how to remove the author page. There was one other post discussing this but the proposed solution of modifying the ht acess file did not work.

    Thank you in advance.

  • hello

    you can use robot.txt file then upload to your WordPress site root.
    so you hide it
    Add /author/ to the Restricted Directories.

    If you can edit your .htaccess file you can use a 301 redirect from the author page to the url of your choosing. Something like this:

    redirect 301 /author_page https://yoursite.com

    or simply you can search the plugin to Remove author pages and link authors to home page.
