Author Internal Link is broken.

Hello

I just recently signed up for SEMRUSH and ran a report.
37 internal links are broken

The internal link that is broken: http://www.mydomain.com/author/
is not on the page but only in the source. I’m not allowing indexing of author. And don’t need it.

I thought I had this removed by the various configuration. Yet this code shows up in the source:

<div class="td-author-name vcard author" style="display: none"><span class="fn">Mike Ryan</span></div>

<meta itemprop="author" content = "Mike Ryan"> </footer>

</article> <!-- /.post -->

Any ideas? Thank you.

What I am using:
– V 4.6 – 25 November
– WordPress 4.0.1
– WordPress SEO Version 1.6.1

Hi,

The panel setting just hide the author box. To remove it you need the td_module_blog.php file and remove this code: http://screencast.com/t/Yv2bpfLP
We will also investigate this and will fix it if we find anything wrong.

Thanks

The panel is off. It still appears. So i took your suggestion and removed it in the code. That worked perfectly. Please be so kind as to remove this in next update.

Thank you so much!

Hi,

That code is used for the author box feature which you can use on the posts. We will investigate and fix it in future versions but we cannot remove it as others use it.
You can use the child theme to edit the file and remove that code in your case or edit the file after each update and remove it.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for the message!

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

I understand that others may be using it, but the “off” feature doesn’t work. I have the box selected as off and the code shows up in the source on page view. So i manually removed the code.

Also Google does not support authorship anymore, so not sure why anyone would want to use it?

Nonetheless, it would be great if the “off” feature really worked so I do not have to remove it everytime there is an update.

Please?

=)
