Restrict Author Profile Access

This tool lets you control which visitors can see author profile pages on your website. It's designed for site owners who want to protect user privacy, prevent information scraping, or limit access to author archives based on user roles.

• Role-based access: Choose which user roles (e.g., subscribers, editors) are allowed to view author profiles. All other visitors are blocked.
• Redirect unauthorized users: Send blocked visitors to a custom URL, such as a login page or a notice, instead of displaying the profile.
• Simple settings: Configure access rules from the admin dashboard with no coding required. Set global restrictions or override for specific authors.
• Privacy protection: Hide author email, bio, or post counts from public view, reducing spam and unwanted contact.
• Works with caching: Compatible with popular caching plugins to ensure restrictions apply correctly without breaking site performance.
