Author URL is not accessible

    Hello. I’m trying to get this plugin to work correctly and it keeps giving me this error on my Site Health screen:

    Your author URL https://timemachiner.io/author/aaron/ does not return valid JSON for application/activity+json. Please check if your hosting supports alternate Accept headers.

    I use the Yoast SEO plugin and do have my author archive page turned on. I’m not sure what JSON is supposed to be returned or how really to fix this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Your site does not return the required JSON, when requesting with the Accept header application/activity+json

    curl "https://timemachiner.io/author/aaron/" \
     -H 'Accept: application/activity+json'

    So I would assume, that you use caching? If so, you have to disable that for profile pages or you have to enable/setup content-negotiation support.

    I’ve disabled my caching (my profile page was already excluded from Lightspeed) and also disabled Yoast. Neither has made a difference in this. I don’t know how to handle content-negotiation support. Can you provide more insight as to what that is and how to fix that?
