I am having the same problems, jetpack has taken down two sites – and disabled itself on one

That hack didn’t work so well as it had bad side effects elsewhere. Now we are putting this at the start of header.php:

<script type=”text/javascript”> var paginateVal = 0;</script>

We still get a console error from a snippet of JS that is written in by the PHP in CatGridView.php it writes:

<script type=”text/javascript”>paginateVal = ;</script> <script type=”text/javascript”>

from

echo ‘paginateVal = ‘.$paginateVal.’;’;

Hi
I have worked out that the profile pages work IF the author’s user_nicename in wp_users is changed to not include a space. So does anyone know of a fix for this, without me having to poke the database by hand for each user?

Hi
I just added a new user – and only used a firstname – that user’s page works and does NOT create a 404 – but I can’t work out why the other links don’t work – it seems as if they should.

oops, forgot to post the link

thanks, I’ve done that

Hi
I have also turned off plugins one by one to see if that fixed it and it didn’t

Ok, I checked, and from the posts pages where the author link also appears (for example: https://publishingacademy.com/authors/get-book-ideas/creativity-what-about-textbooks-academic-books at the bottom)

The code in the theme uses: the_author_posts_link();

Does that help in diagnosing why the link doesn’t work? Anything else I can tell you?

thanks for trying to help me with this

I also changed the theme back to default and I still get the error

Hi
I installed WP-Devel and have this extra info to share:

query_vars (Array, 1 element)
o
author_name (String, 10 characters ) joegregory
*
query_string (String, 22 characters ) author_name=joegregory
*
request (String, 17 characters ) author/joegregory
*
matched_rule (String, 17 characters ) author/([^/]+)/?$
*
matched_query (String, 22 characters ) author_name=joegregory
*
did_permalink (Boolean) TRUE

Which suggests the permalink thing is working? I think???? Which would mean it’s further along the chain – perhaps in author.php?

Hi
I’ve installed a couple of different plugins that create user pages (I don’t have the skill to do this myself, so use plugins), just in case it was the first plugin that didn’t work – I have:

1. members list – https://www.ternstyle.us/products/plugins/wordpress/wordpress-members-plugin – this creates https://publishingacademy.com/members/ – you can see that I have some “members” – when you click through to (for example) Joe Gregory you get a 404

2. I also installed (to check if it was the previous plugin) – User Community – https://alkivia.org/plugins/community – which creates this page: https://publishingacademy.com/about/faculty-members/ – when you click to Joe Gregory again, you first get the user community part (which works) and then a link to the author profile, which doesn’t work – gives a 404 (click on “View This Author’s Posts”)

I’m sorry if I’m not telling you what you need to know, just point me in the right direction and I’ll tell you more!

Does that help?
thanks a bunch

Hi
yes, the admin link does work and is like you say (mysite/author/admin/), it’s the other authors on my site that don’t work – mysite/author/nameofauthor/ – they all produce a 404.
Debs

oops, one more thing, the author link to admin always works

Hi
I found that it was a problem with the supercache
Debs

Hi
thanks for the fast response – sorry, I am on 2.7 – and it’s not working
