Disable Author Archives

Description

A simple, lightweight WordPress plugin to completely disable author archives/pages (regardless of whether the corresponding author really exists) and make the web server return status code 404 (‘Not Found’) instead. Related links will also be either disabled or completely removed.

The plugin does not require any configuration. Once activated, it will start doing its job.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/disable-author-archives directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

FAQ

A simple and effective plugin. Excellent communication with the developer.

The author archive is unnecessary for a single blog. Switching on and off should be a Wordpress core feature.
