Author pages not respecting nofollow tags

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

I have been able to reproduce this bug and this has been reported to our developers. At the moment, you can add the following code on your theme’s functions.php file to fix this:

/**
 * Rank Math filtering of author archives robots meta data.
 *
 * @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
	if(is_author()){
		$robots['index'] = "noindex";
                $robots['follow'] = "nofollow";
	}
	return $robots;
});

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
