Rank Math Incompatibility w/ Edit author slug plugin

    I found a very important disadvantage for multi-user websites in Rank Math. After installing rank math all my custom author slugs have been changed and I don’t know how to fix it, I would like to continue using rank math but be able to custom author slugs depending on their role. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    The author archives being part of the SEO of a website, we include options to control those settings, which we believe should be part of an SEO plugin.

    If the settings don’t provide the necessary options that you require for your specific use case, you can try to modify this filter to apply a different base depending on the user role: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#change-author-base

    At the moment, there’s no option to just disable this functionality and use that other plugin.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    I’m not a developer so I will not try to modify the filter.

    It would be good if you could bring this issue to the technical and development team of Rank Math so they can add this feature in a future update of the plugin, as I think this is a relevant option to have, (or at least give the option to disable the current function). Thanks.
