Работает, но ..
by Молвинец «СКРЕПЫ» NSFW Cartel·3 years ago
Дополнение — «то, что нужно».
Единственное но, не имеет перенаправления на «главную» (или указанный адрес), и author=0 не прячет.
Вцелом нормально (если без учёта).
Done and Done

15 lines of code. Such a simple approach. I ended up simply adding this code to one of our existing in-house plugins for a multisite and slightly modified the code so it redirects to the parent domain of the blog / domain.
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'">';
Missing /?author=0

It catches /author/ pages, but misses /?author=0 (etc).
Good plugin
by stbedesantafe·9 years ago
This is the type of plugin we need more of – they do the job without having to edit theme files. Thanks.
Works Well!
