## Beschreibung

WordPress redirects /?author=(number) to /author/(userID) if the author id exists.
This is the security vulnerability because an internet user might be able to know
all User ID and the user name in a website using WordPress.

If you can control the configuration of a web server, you had better use the rewrite
rule (Search as „Block Author URLs“) for reducing the system load of WordPress.

The plugin prevents the security vulnerability regarding the author archive redirection.

Detailed Behavior
 1. It isn’t applied in the admin dashboard. 2. If „author“ query
in URL (QUERY_STRING) exists, displays 404 error. 3. If „/author/“ in REQUEST_URI
involves, redirects to the top page. 4. Apply to the „redirect_canonical“ hook, 
too.

## Installation

The operation is the simple.
 Please install this plugin and activate it.
