page author

Hi,

In order to for you to create a page manually which has the path /author/some-name then you would have to have a page with the /author/ slug. But you can’t do that, since the author slug already exists. Also, this is default WordPress behaviour, not theme specific.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I’m not sure what you mean by redirections though, there is nothing like that in either the theme or WordPress by default. Please remove any manual redirection you might have added, and it should work after that. If you need to add more authors then you can do that under Users in the WordPress menu, and the author page will be created automatically for you.

Best regards,

Hi cm,

I think you need to understand how author pages are created in WordPress, please try to research that first. Like Victoria pointed out, there is no actual page which you can edit in WordPress which has the Author slug, since that is reserved for Author pages which are automatically generated by WordPress.

Hi cm,

Thanks for that. I see the problem you are referring to, but Enfold won’t redirect any pages for you automatically. You mentioned in your first post that you had added a redirection, where exactly did you add that? Please try to remove it and disable all plugins to see if that makes any difference.

Hi cm,

The author link works on your actual site now: https://test.sophronisator.fr/maladie-pulmonaire-temoignage/. Could you explain to me how this is a bug when it works on your site?
