Author Links Not Working

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 20

URLs to my author pages are going nowhere. I have the them templates set to go to the Author Cloud template that I created. But when I click on an authors name in a post it goes blank. Also noticed the URLs do not contain the author’s names. They are going to a #

https://floriologydm.wpengine.com/?author=4

Can’t figure out where to edit this. I do not have any other plugins set up that would be causing a conflict. Just the TagDiv ones that came with the newspaper theme.

Any ideas?

Hello,

What plugin do you use to add multiple authors to your posts? https://i.imgur.com/ghjK96R.png Maybe some settings from this one create this issue.

Thank you!

Sorry for the delay on this. Was on another project. We are not using any other plugins right now. This is for a single author. When you click on the author name, it should run a list of their articles. Right now it is doing nothing. We have the same theme set on another site and it works fine. Not sure what is stopping this one.

Still having this issue. We do not have any plugins installed. Author pages just go blank when clicked.

Hi,

Please set the permalinks to plain.
Also, here it seems you use a plugin for authors-> https://i.imgur.com/Q4XdfmO.png how you added multiple authors?

Thank you!

I checked and permalinks are set to plain.

We are using the newspaper theme. Plugins are the ones that game with it:

Genesis Blocks, tagDiv Cloud Library, tagDiv Composer, tagDiv Counter. Authors were set up in the “Users” area. Only one author per post. The commas after the names are industry designations. So it is just one author set up as a user. https://imgur.com/65Ve3GW

Other articles with no designations like this: https://floriologydm.wpengine.com/?p=1014 are also going blank. When using Chrome we get a 403 error: Access to floriologydm.wpengine.com was denied. You don’t have authorization to view this page. HTTP ERROR 403

I think I just figured it out. Switched the permalink from plain to post name and now it is appearing correctly. https://floriologydm.wpengine.com/author/rsogueco/

Hello,

I think you have some settings in .htaccess related to the permalinks. But if you want to use this type of permalink, then you can use it.

Thank you!
