 * I understand the risk, and I do agree that it is not the best solution. I am 
   trying to convince the site-admin that their blocking of ?author=ID is not in
   any way meaningful (I have been reading a lot overnight to understand what it
   is, and your position is clearly the strongest). If I don’t succeed, I think 
   this solution will be the only way out. Anyways, I think others in similar positions
   will profit from such a solution as well.
 * So, thank you for providing me with such an option.

 * I am in contact with the admins of the site. It seems that Yoast is blocking ?
   author=0. The admin says:
 * > Yoast blocks ?author=0 for security reasons – they block a so-called “Author
   > Enumeration Attack,” which is a technique where attackers can systematically
   > discover usernames on a WordPress site by using author endpoints. Yoast SEO
   > Premium does not have a specific setting in the WordPress admin interface to
   > disable author enumeration protection (blocking the ?author= parameter). Therefore,
   > it must be done with code … The question is whether it’s even a good idea, 
   > as it poses a security risk. I don’t know ActivityPub, but it seems that the
   > ActivityPub plugin already uses the /author/username endpoint instead of the?
   > author=0 parameter.
 * What is your comment to it being a security risk to allow ?author=0 ?
 * Do you know how to make Yoast allow access to ?author=0
 * Is it possible to create a setting that makes it possible to change the method
   in ActivityPub so it access a user-slug? I could try to look into it myself if
   it does not demand complete re-write. In that case, could you point to where 
   to look and edit?
 * Thanks for all your help. I hope it might be usable for others as well (as I 
   understand it, Yoast is used by many).

 * Returning to this after some time. Problem: domain.tlr/?author=0 returns error
   403, access denied.
 * I have searched for similar problems – but it doesn’t seem to be normal to get
   403 on author-id-page.
 * I have Yoast installed, but there, author-archives is not disabled.
 * I think I need to contact the people responsible for the website – but I would
   like to be able to tell them the probable cause so I can just ask them to solve
   it. Hope you can help me?
 * Can the 403 be setup in their .htaccess-file? Or where should they look?
 * Thank you once again! I am using activitypub on my personal website, and it is
   such a gamechanger to be in contact with the fediverse this way.

 * I cannot access the author profiles using ?author=0 – is it possible to make 
   ActivityPub use the slug-based URL (/author/username)?

 * It works at my end (the link includes the blog user name before the URL – but
   still it worked for me).
 * – can you please check again?

 * Hi [@imtiazrayhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtiazrayhan/) ,
 * I thought I could check out the code and see if I could do it myself, and I think
   I managed to do it correctly, so I have made a pull request for you. I hope you
   will accept it.
 * I will also try to add an option to give slides a visibility time range (I am
   using slides (changed from “slide anything” to your package yesterday) to show
   upcoming events in our local community, and I would like not to have to remember
   to take them down when the events are over).
 * Cheers,
 * Jeppe

 * It seems like the problem is back. My colleague installed a new theme – maybe
   the error lies there. But anyway, I hope you will look into it.
 * I get this message in the console:

 * Closing. It seems to be connected to the theme I am using.
