Troubleshooting

Some Author Links Are Broken After Changing the Author Path

If you’ve noticed that some of your links are broken or directing you to the wrong destinations after modifying the author path, there might be an issue with the permalink structure. When you change the author path, the URLs associated with author profiles and pages are also altered. This can lead to incorrect links and broken navigation.

Solution:

Clear Cache

If you have a cache plugin or use server caching, clear all the cache, as the change of paths has significantly changed the website’s structure.

Update permalinks

Go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Settings > Permalinks, and click Save Changes to refresh the permalinks. This action can sometimes help resolve issues related to URL structures.

Check for hard-coded links

If you’ve manually added author links within your content or theme files, update them to reflect the new author path.

After applying these steps, your links should lead to the correct destinations, and the issue of broken or incorrect links should be resolved.
