Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with redirecting your author archive link to your personal profile page. It sounds frustrating that previous attempts have not worked as expected.
To set up a redirect for your author archive link using Rank Math, you can follow these steps:
- Go to Rank Math Dashboard: Navigate to the Rank Math plugin in your WordPress dashboard.
- Access Redirections: Click on the Redirections option in the Rank Math menu.
- Add New Redirection: Click on the Add New button to create a new redirection.
- Set Source URL: In the Source URL field, enter the author archive URL you want to redirect (e.g.,
/author/username).
- Set Destination URL: In the Destination URL field, enter the URL of your personal profile page.
- Choose Redirection Type: Select the type of redirection (usually a 301 Permanent Redirect is recommended).
- Save Changes: Click on the Save Changes button to apply the redirection.
If you continue to experience issues where it redirects to the home page instead, it may be worth checking for any conflicting plugins or settings that could be causing this behavior. Additionally, ensure that there are no existing redirects set up that might interfere with this new one.
For more advanced assistance, we recommend considering our professional setup service, which ensures your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Professional Setup Service.
