Hi,

I have removed author content box from individual posting.

However, I noticed there is a page dedicated to author, example:
http://www.mydomain.com/author/authorname/

How can I remove/disable this?

Thank you!

Hi

The author page is a WordPress feature and the theme controls only its layout. To remove that page you will need a plugin with a similar functionality. Also I’ve found here: http://blog.futtta.be/2015/03/03/quick-tip-disabling-wordpress-author-pages/ a possible solution, you can give it a try and see how it works.

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hi,

What are the plugins I can use?
I’m not familiar with coding or you have a step by step approach for this.

Thanks!

Hi

You can try a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-author-pages/ but we didn’t test it with the theme and I can’t say how will work. Also you could try this code in author.php: http://screencast.com/t/0VUXzJLSGz3

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: /");
?>

Hope this help.
Thanks!
