How to redirect your author archive link to your “About” page

How to redirect your author archive link to your “About” page

By default, when someone click on your author posts URL, he is redirected to your author archive page. It is useful on multi-author blogs, but if there’s only one author on your blog, author archives are pointless. Here is a quick tip to redirect your author archive link to your “About” page.

This code have to be pasted into your functions.php file. Don't forget to replace about on line 4 by the slug used by your "About" page.

add_filter( 'author_link', 'my_author_link' );

function my_author_link() {
	return home_url( 'about' );
}
