Whenever I click on the Author link, I get redirected to the home page. I've set up the author.php page according to the instruction on codex, but still no luck. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • the point of disabling plugins and switching themes is to verify that a plugin or theme isn't interfering with your rewrites and redirecting author pages, which is often an issue. if that's the case you can re-enable them one at a time to find out which plugin is to blame, then we can better help you solve your problem. otherwise, we're just guessing.

  • Ok - When I disable the Yoast SEO plugin, clicking on the author link works! Is it possible to tweak the plugin and have the author page work?
