Hi @bwo2024,

Yes, some SEO plugins offer an option to disable author archives/pages and redirect them to the homepage. You may have activated this option in Slim SEO, or it could be enabled by default. That’s why deactivating the plugin resolved the issue.

For future reference, here’s a support article that explains this issue and how to fix it in Yoast SEO.

Thank you!

OK, let’s try this updated version. Replace the snippet provided earlier with this one below. Now you should get the author box displayed at the top of your author pages and your theme’s default author info removed:

// Remove default author information displayed at the top of the author page.
add_action( 'wp', function(){ if ( is_author() ) { remove_action('generate_archive_title', 'generate_archive_title'); } } );

// Add Molongui Authorship author box to the top of the author page.
add_action('generate_before_main_content', function(){ if ( is_author() ) { print_r(do_shortcode('[molongui_author_box]')); } } );

Please let us know.

Please try adding this modified version of the provided snippet:

// Remove default author information displayed at the top of the author page.
remove_action('generate_archive_title', 'generate_archive_title');

// Add Molongui Authorship author box to the top of the author page.
add_action('generate_before_main_content', function(){ print_r(do_shortcode('[molongui_author_box]')); });

Remember, go to: Authors > Settings > Advanced, find the Custom PHP panel, paste the snippet above and Save Settings.

Important: Assuming you will copy the snippet from this post, make sure to paste it without formatting.

That should do it. Please let us know.

You can do this if your theme includes an action hook that runs at the top of the author page. Some themes provide such hooks in their templates, but not all do.

Let’s say your theme is GeneratePress, a great theme that provides many hooks that allow you to customize almost anything. You don’t need a third party plugin like Code Snippets to add custom PHP code to your site, our plugin already allows you to do that. Just go to: Authors > Settings > Advanced and find the Custom PHP panel. There, paste the snippet below:

// Remove default author information displayed at the top of the author page.
remove_action('generate_archive_title', 'generate_archive_title');

// Add Molongui Authorship author box to the top of the author page.
add_action('generate_before_main_content', function(){ echo do_shortcode('[molongui_author_box]'); });

Save settings and check your frontend. The author box should have replaced default author data, showing author bio, social links and profile picture.

For any other theme that provides a similar hook, the process will be the same:

1. Optionally, prevent default author data to be displayed.
2. Display the author box using the shortcode.

Please let us know if this helps.

OK, I think now I understand what you mean. You have the “slim” layout selected. That layout displays a “+ posts” link below the author name. If you click on it, related posts are shown (I’ve just checked in your site and that is working).

However, if you want to have the “Related Posts” tab, then you need to select the “tabbed” layout for the author box. Please go to: Authors > Author Box Editor > Layout, find the “Layout” setting and select the “Tabbed” option. Save settings. This should give you the “Related Posts” tab at the top of the author box.

From that same screen, you can configure colors and other settings for your author box and tabs.

Please let me know if this helps.
