    Hello there,

    I am not sure if this plugin developer is active or not. I have to transfer my problem about a website.

    I have WordPress 6.1.1 installed, RankMath SEO and a theme MH joystic.
    For some reason, author.php is missing from MH joystick.
    Before install any plugin, i got 404 error on author’s page.

    I have try to install the “Change Author Link Structure” plugin, same result, 404 on author’s page.

    I have try to uninstall the “Change Author Link Structure” plugin, and my website toasted. Got on my email the following debug :

    Error Details

    An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 167 of the file /home/****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/change-author-link-structure/lib/class-change-author-link-structure.php. Error message: Uncaught Error: Cannot unset string offsets in /home/****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/change-author-link-structure/lib/class-change-author-link-structure.php:167
    Stack trace:

    5 /home/*****/public_html/wp-admin/plugins.php(209): deactivate_plugins(‘change-author-l…’, false, false)
    6 {main}
    thrown

    After that, i remove the folder “Change Author Link Structure” from plugins folder manually. Hopefully, the plugin disappeared from wordpress and everything was back to normal.

    If the developer reads this thread, please do an investigation. If it’s necessary to remove any table from my database or not.

    About me, i have to find out why author.php is missing from my website theme.

    Hi,

    thank you for providing the detailed error report. I added some handling that will hopefully prevent the error and released a new version 1.0.1. Unfortunately, I couldn’t reproduce the error with my setup. There might be a plugin in your installation that potentially interferes with this plugin.

    It is not necessary to clean up your database, but I would recommend to again save the current permalink settings (Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes) to flush your rewrite rule configuration.
