 * Hello,
 * Try to add the below code to the functions.php file of the child theme and let
   me know it works or not –
 *     ```
       function prefix_disable_author_page() {
           global $wp_query;
           if ( is_author() ) { 
               wp_redirect(get_option('home'), 301); 
               exit; 
           }
       }
       add_action('template_redirect', 'prefix_disable_author_page');
       ```
   
 * If you are using an SEO plugin, then you can do it without the code.
