AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Disable Author Archive Redirection is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by kimipooh — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How Disable Author Archive Redirection works
WordPress redirects /?author=(number) to /author/(userID) if the author id exists. This is the security vulnerability because an internet user might be able to know all User ID and the user name in a website using WordPress.
If you can control the configuration of a web server, you had better use the rewrite rule (Search as “Block Author URLs”) for reducing the system load of WordPress.
The plugin prevents the security vulnerability regarding the author archive redirection.
Detailed Behavior
1. It isn’t applied in the admin dashboard.
2. If “author” query in URL (QUERY_STRING) exists, displays 404 error.
3. If “/author/” in REQUEST_URI involves, redirects to the top page.
4. Apply to the “redirect_canonical” hook, too.
