Author Archive and Global Rules For Archives

Hi @bilion

thank you very much for your suggestions.

1) This is already in the roadmap for the PRO version.
With the free version, I suggest you use Custom URLs => Frontend URLs.
Usually, the author archive pages look like https://your-website.com/author/author-name/.
You can match this kind of URL with */author/*.

2) This is also in the roadmap. Maybe it will be a free feature, but it will require time, and I can’t say when it will be ready.
Also for this kind of URL, many times you can use Custom URLs => Frontend URLs

About your second thread. At the moment you can’t disable plugins on the 404 page, but you can do it for the search results page. See this picture: https://freesoul-deactivate-plugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/fdp-disable-plugins-on-search-results-page.png. Have you tried it and doesn’t work for you?

Without doing any tricks you can’t disable plugins for the 404 page because WP redirects to the 404 page only after all plugins are loaded. The code of FDP would run after all plugins are loaded.

But you could create a custom redirection for the 404 error, for instance, something that looks like https://your-website.com?e404=true, or whatever query argument you like, and then you can use the same argument in Custom URLs => Frontend URLs. In this case, you would be able to match the 404 page with *e404=true

You can customize the 404 URL with this code:

add_action( 'template_redirect',function(){
	$custom_arg = 'e404';
  if( !isset( $_GET[$custom_arg] ) && isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ) && isset( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) && is_404() ){
		$uri = esc_url( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
    wp_redirect( add_query_arg( $custom_arg,'true',$uri ) );
    exit();
  }
} );

If you add the code above to the functions.php of your child theme, or to a functional plugin, then the error page will have this URL:

https://your-domain.com?e404=true

Replace e404 with whatever you like. It’s important you use the same string in Custom URLs => Frontend URLs

I hope it helps.
