After making changes to the author path, contributors or users might encounter problems accessing their profiles or features related to authorship. This can happen if the modified author path conflicts with the URLs or settings associated with their profiles.
Communicate changes
Inform your contributors and users about the recent changes you’ve made to the author’s path. Let them know they might need to adjust their URLs or bookmarks to access their profiles.
Check URLs
Contributors and users should use the correct URLs to access their profiles. If the author’s path has been modified, they might need to update their bookmarks or saved links.
