    Admin page > Titles & Meta > Authors > Author Archives: set to Enabled

    Then I visit my author profile page on my blog, and it shows “There has been a critical error on this website.” error

    I included the system info & error log in the Sensitive Data field.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please head over to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs and change the “Search Results Format” to Search for %s

    Once done, clear your website’s cache and see if that fixes the issue.

    Let us know how that goes.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the hint. That did not work, however pointed out to the right direction. Somehow the “Archive Format” field value is saved with Archives for % (not %s) and looks like this is causing issues. After I correct it to %s all seems fine. Perhaps in the future, the plugin could be improved with a validation here. Thanks for the great product!

    Hello,

    We’ll pass on this suggestion to include an additional validation here to prevent the issue to our developers.

    Thank you for the feedback and if you have any other questions don’t hesitate to get in touch.

    We are here to help!
