author page not generated

Don’t see anything that looks wrong with your author.php.

I have Co-Authors plugin installed.

And if you disable the plugin what happens?

Hi Michael,
it happens the same.

It’s really strange.

Any idea?

thank you,

Might update your Permalink structure Administration > Settings > Permalinks and if the problem still occurs, temporarily rename your .htaccess file if you have one.

Hi Michael,
thank you for your time.
I have reset my .htaccess file but I have the same result.
This is the new .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Any other idea?? ??

Best regards,

You’ve got the same thing twice, not that it should matter, but it only need be…

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Michael might just be referring to viewing the permalink page and hitting Save Changes, although this in theory shouldn’t make much difference it has been known to resolve some issues.

If you have general permalink issues you may need to add the follow symlinks option. No need if your permalinks work already though.

Hi t31os,
thank you.

I had hit “Save Changes” in wp, when I have read the MichaelH message, and I have no result ??
Now I have used your .htaccess file and I have the same wrong result.

could it be a behavior related in some way to the theme that I use?

Thank you,

Works on my test install, straight copy and paste from the friend paste page.

https://www.mytestpage.com/author/t31os/

Displays a profile page with links to my posts..

All other pages are fine? Category pages, post pages, etc…

I have tested tag and category pages and these work.

The URLs generated for monthly archive widget not work. I have this kind of generated URL https://www.mytestpage.com/year/month/, but when I click on it I wait few seconds and once again the the browser open the blog homepage.

Is this info helpful for you?

Thank you for your time,

a

I have made a test also with this simple URL structure:
https://www.mytestpage.com/year/

I have always the homepage. There is something strange. I do not understand why it’s ok with tag and categories URLs and not with author and time URLs

Best regards,

Thank you all.

I think I have solved. Only tomorrow I might be able to make a real test.
It’s a problem related to settings of Robots Meta plugin:
– Disable the author archives
– Disable the date-based archives

Once again thank you for your time,

Andrea
