How to always rewrite author archive page URL even if the author does not have a post

We managed this by hijacking the default author template and setting up our own. Set up a new url rewrite for team members: add_action(‘init’, function () { global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->author_base=”team”; $wp_rewrite->author_structure=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” . $wp_rewrite->author_base. ‘/%author%’; }); In the template we then use: $uid = get_query_var(‘author’); to get the user’s id.

different child theme for subdomain

You’re using the reserved public query variable name as your custom one. It can e.g. affect the canonical redirect by setting page_id and name for a different page. Change it to something else to avoid possible name collision, like kenan_video_slug: add_rewrite_rule( ‘^watch/([^/]*)$’, ‘index.php?pagename=watch&kenan_video_slug=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); Note that your rewrite will override the content pagination for … Read more

Why am I getting a 404 on anything past page 1 of my query?

So, it turns out my hunch was correct and the solution is to add some rewrite rules.

Is it possible to remove feeds from rewrites?

If you’re concerned about site speed, check out YSlow and Google Page Speed … Read more
