    I am using the GeneratePress GP Premium 2.5.0 theme. In Cuxtomizer > Layout > Blog, I have clicked “Display post author.”

    My name on each article on my blog’s homepage has a link that leads back to my blog’s homepage.

    I contaced GP’s support staff and they said, “This is not default behaviour, the author name should be linked to your author archive page. I think your SEO plugin has redirect it back to homepage.”

    They suggested I contact my SEO plugin support staff, so here I am.

    Is there a way to change that link to lead to an About Me page?

    Thanks for getting back to me!

    Using WP Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Titles & Meta > Authors > enable Author Archives > default settings, the link takes me to a weird page: https://www.gcc-globalclimatechange.com/author/derhpmulaen/

    I like this even less than having the link recycle back to homepage. Is there any way I can make the link lead to an About page?

    Hello @nealumphred,

    The Display Post Author option of your theme shows the Author Name and links to the default WordPress author archives. If you want to change that URL, you will have to get in touch with your theme’s support, as they add the URL to the author name. Our plugin only controls if the author archives are enabled or not.

    Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
