Extra Authors Redirect

Adds a checkbox to author profiles to redirect. Useful for sites that have occasional authors or user accounts not intended for display.

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload extra-authors-redirect to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Check the author(s) you want redirected.

Does this affect posts / pages / admin / ???

No. this only affects people going to the /author/ template page on a site, and only affects those that have been marked to redirect.

Can I change where the redirect goes?

Yes. There is a filter to change the default behavior. In your functions file, include the following:

function new_auth_url($location) {
    $location = 'http://google.com';
    return $location;
}
add_filter( 'extra_author_redirect_url', 'new_auth_url' );
