404 Page when selecting author's name

If possible, please provide a URL for us to review (with above issue)…this may allude us to an issue…

Sorry… Frustration got the better of me.

https://www.thisgringotravels.com is my website.

I’m running Headway Themes, which doesn’t seem to be the issue. And I can’t think of anything else that might be relevant since I’ve already tried without all plugins. Thanks for the response.

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– deactivating ALL plugins did not resolve the problem.

– switching to twenty twelve resulted in no author’s name listed.

– Resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin sounds like you’re speaking greek to me.

Please see the link I posted above for details.

But it may just be that when you created your username you added a space at the end, or at least the %20 does not belong?

//https://thisgringotravels.com/author/gringo%20/ is the url being generated…

try: //https://thisgringotravels.com/author/gringo/

Esmi – apologize for not recognizing what it was saying when I opened the link. Executed as listed and still no results.

Seacoast – that works great! Not sure what to do to fix it though. In fact, I have no idea how that even turned out to be anything. I’ve got nothing listed solely as gringo (caveat, I may have when I first started the blog when I had even less of a clue what I was doing than I do now) Any thoughts or would this require an entirely new install? I can’t find anything in HostGator settings either.

P.S. I want to thank both of you for helping me out with this one. Now that I know what it’s doing, I’m far less concerned. I would still like to fix it, mostly just because it’s the only way I’m going to learn, but if my 5 readers can’t figure out that I’m the only one posting anyways…. well, my friends just ain’t usually that smart. And I don’t want to waste anymore of your time when you could be helping people with real problems.

If either of you feel like continuing for the sake of tackling a problem, I’m in. But I truly appreciate your efforts either way ??

perhaps this is the ‘nickname’ you entered in admin>users>your profile>nickname ?? Has a space at end?

Assuming that there’s a space at the end of your username, I can only suggest that you set up a new account and transfer all of the Posts & Pages over to the new Account via Edit Page/Edit Post -> Author. Then delete the old account.

I’ll give it a try, even though I don’t currently see any. That’s going to take some time to do individually and reset my profile. I’ll try to update here tomorrow if I can’t do them today. Thanks for the help.

Just wanted to tell you that this worked and say thanks for all the help. It obviously took longer than expected, but it’s good not and it forced me to go back and make some changes to some of my earliest posts (tagging and categories). Thanks a bunch!
