Redirecting Author Page

  • Hi.

    I just found out the plugin has new owner.

    I’m trying to redirect the author page, https://mysite.com/author/myname/ to https://mysite.com/.

    Not working at all.

    Does it need to be a post or page for the redirect to work? As the author page is generated by wordpress. The backend is the user profile page.

    Thanks

    …and special thanks to BearlyDoug for making the whole transition so smooth.

  • @yangman, this should work under the standard 301/302 redirect.

    Put the Request URL as:
    /author/myname/

    and the Destination URL as:
    /

    You shouldn’t need to do this as a page/post redirect… just a standard one. FYI, I tested this on a dev site, and it’s working correctly.
