If you don’t need author post pages in WordPress disable the link and have them redirect back to the homepage. Add the below code to your themes child function.php file.
[php]
add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘my_custom_disable_author_page’);
function my_custom_disable_author_page() {
global $wp_query;
if( is_category() || is_tag() || is_date() || is_author() ) {
$wp_query->set_301();
status_header(301);
// Redirect to homepage
wp_redirect(get_option(‘home’));
}
}
add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘remove_author_pages_page’ );
[/php]
