Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

Since the author archives option is disabled, the author URLs will return a 404 error. To get rid of the 404 errors, you should enable the author archives in our plugin settings. If you don’t want them to be indexed, you can enable the Robots meta option in the author settings of our plugin and set them to Noindex.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
