I am running a WordPress installation, I am using the theme created by my own. I haven't displayed any author related information in the theme. But I am getting server logs with domain/author/author-name/.

Is there any way to get author name even if theme didn't display it?

Yes, the links will always be accessible unless you disable them on your htaccess or a PHP file. If you don't have any author page, probably the users (or bots) that are reaching this page are seeing your index page.

I highly recommend you install Google Analytics code on your website to track what your users are seeing instead of a server log.

  • Thank you @Bruno for your response, it it can be accessible but I wonder how that user got my username, I haven't displayed author's details in theme. Is there any possibilities of getting username through xmlrpx or any other method?

    Are you using a custom theme (made by yourself)? If yes, probably your RSS file is providing the author name.

  • Thank you very much @Bruno that is the only option left, I guess.
