[Resolved] Author page not displaying

[Matthew]

Hello,

For some reason, my author pages are not displaying and I can’t figure out why.

I’m not blocking it with an SEO plugin.

Any idea?

Thank you

Hi Matthew,

The first thing I can think of is a Permalink issue. Can you try rebuilding permalinks? To do so just hit save on Settings > Permalinks.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi, I’ve just tried that and it doesn’t seem to have worked.

[Fernando]

Does that author exist? I tried a different author’s archive page and it’s working as expected.

Another reason is if that user hasn’t created a post yet. If so, it defaults to a no-results page.

[Matthew]

Which author archive page is working?

This one in question is the main Administrator login which happens to have all posts assigned to it.

This one works:

Thank you Fernando. Hmmmm, that’s interesting. Another author’s page is now working now that I’ve assigned a post to it.

I don’t use the main Admin but I guess it’s created as default.

I’ve always used Admin1 as the login and don’t have Admin as a user. However, that Admin is the same as the Admin1 user.

Confusing.

Can you kindly remove my website url from your post now Fernando.

Thank you for your help.
