Multiple Authors + Author enabled = Link redirects to Home Page
-
I contacted my theme creator and they said a plugin was likely overwriting their get_author_posts_url(). After doing a plugin conflict check, Yoast SEO was identified as a culprit.
I have multiple authors on Platform.
Under “Search Appearance”, both Author Archives + Show Author Archives in search results ARE ENABLED. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/451fqyva03tcnbg/Screenshot%202019-10-29%2023.02.48.png?dl=0)
On the URL with the issue, if you click the author’s name “Preciousmetalart” it will take you to the HOME Page- Here is the link to Preciousmetalart https://www.dropbox.com/s/qmwfki8549z15zk/Screenshot%202019-10-29%2022.46.34.png?dl=0
When I inspect it, these are the URLs referenced in the code.
https://makyn.me/members/Preciousmetalart
https://makyn.me/author/Preciousmetalart
Either of these URLs are good URLS!HOWEVER, with Yoast SEO active, if you click the link it redirects to the HOME Page!
This behavior further changes when another plugin – Youzer (requires BuddyPress) is enabled. Then, the link https://makyn.me/author/Preciousmetalart becomes https://makyn.me/members/Charles, which IS his first name & username, but not his author or shop name.
It is also NOT a valid URL. Youzer causes a redirect to his username, causing a 404 error.
I can screenshare if I am provided an email, or I can create a login if someone is willing to look under the hood. Any help would be immensely appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
