Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with changing the author URL slug. To change the author slug in Rank Math, you need to navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Authors → Author Base and update the author base that was previously set. After making your changes, ensure you click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen to apply the new settings.
If you have already done this and it still doesn’t save, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
Hello,
Apologies for the confusion.
Please note that the changes made to the author/user slug in the meta box will not work because WordPress doesn’t allow changing the author slug by default.
However, you can change the slug of your author by using a plugin that specifically addresses that like this:

Hope that helps.
