Google Authorship and missing Author Page

Hi everybody I’m trying to set the Google Authorship, but my site misses the Author page: I created a post, and if I click on my name (in the Author byline) it redirects me to a “404 page not found”.

Is it a Theme issue?
How can I fix it?

TNX!!!

    While I fixed the Google Authorship issue, the Author page issue still remains: if I click on my name (in the byline) it redirects to a “404 page not found” because my author page doesn’t exists.

    TNX!

    Hi Ivan

    Thanks for running Vantage.

    For reference, I’ve reported on resolving the Google Author issue with a child theme here: https://siteorigin.com/thread/missing-required-field-updated-google-webmaster-tools/.

    Please can you head to Settings > Permalinks and hit Save, nothing else. See if that resolves the author 404 error.

    Andrew I’m sorry it didn’t solved the issue, and things got even worse: I’m not able to activate W3 Total Cache: you can see the result in the site ( http://www.bullismoonline.it )

    I uploaded the zip file and activated it, then clicked “Save” in the Permalinks section.

    BTW: the orginal Vantage theme now is disabled.
    Should I activate it?

  5. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 10 months ago

    From here I would:

    * Delete W3’s cache if you have access to the plugin’s settings.
    * Temporarily de-activate all your plugins.
    * Move over to another theme.
    * Delete Vantage and re-install using the ZIP download link found in your order confirmation email (premium) or just re-download via Appearance > Themes > Add New: Search for Vantage Free.

    Everything should then be ok. Re-activate your plugins one at a time while checking for the issue occurring.
