 * How can I modify the author page link? Currently, clicking on the author’s name
   redirects to “website/author/joedoe,” but I want it to redirect to a custom link
   like “website/joedoe.”
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-author-link%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * We don’t have an option for that in the free version. If you are comfortable 
   editing code it’s in simple-author-box/template/template-sab.php ~line 99.
 * The option in the PRO version is in Visibility -> Author name should link to 
   option the select Author Website instead of Author Page and then it will link
   to whatever URL the Author’s website is in their profile 🙂
 * This forum is for the free version only so if you have any questions about PRO
   please reach out to us via the website.
