What to do if byline term links don't lead to the term archive as they should

For the FAQ/Notes:

After activating the Byline plugin you may get 404s when you click on byline names. These links should take you to a term archive for all posts by that author. The reason this fails under some conditions has to due with stale cached data (transients) that need to be flushed. You can flush transients in WP by clicking update within the permalinks settings page. Or use a plugin like this: one https://wordpress.org/plugins/artiss-transient-cleaner/

I can also add flush_rewrite_rules(); to the activation sequence for the plugin.

/**
* Flush permalinks on plugin de/activation.
*/

function byline_activation() {
    // Register the Byline taxonomy
    add_custom_taxonomies();
    // Flush the permalinks
    flush_rewrite_rules();
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'byline_activation');

function byline_deactivation() {
    flush_rewrite_rules();
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'byline_deactivation');
