I did and it worked! Thank you for the guidance.

Ok…let’s give it a few days.

Thank you for the quick comment, Maybellyne…

This suggestion uncovered an issue with the robots.txt file — the file in the root of the website is not getting updated by Settings > Reading Settings in WordPress. The correct changes I made in Settings > Reading Settings was not updating the root robots.txt

Any thoughts on that?

Anyhoo, I updated the root file manually and removed Disallow: /author and still no change.

Other ideas?
