[WordPress] How to not create an archive for the author/poster
![[WordPress] How to not create author/poster archives](https://naouniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wordpresslogo.jpg)
This is a memorandum.
When checking which pages were viewed using Google Analytics, I noticed an unfamiliar URL.
It seems that the poster page/archive is automatically generated by default.
I am the only contributor to this site.
I think this is the case with most personal blogs, but there's not much point in creating a poster archive.
So, I'll do something about it.
How not to create author/contributor archives
Add the following sentence to functions.php.
add_filter('author_rewrite_rules','__return_empty_array');
We use author_rewrite_rules to filter the rewrite rules that generate author archive page URLs.
Then we run flush_rules(), which is the function that regenerates the rewrite rules and saves them to the database.
flush_rules() is called to update permalinks, so go to "Settings" → "Permalink Settings" on the dashboard and update without making any changes
The above method was based on the following website.
