Wordpress Author URLs redirected to Home Page

Question

I have tried to set up an author page in wordpress. But all the author pages are redirected to the home page. I google it and they suggested to disable plugins and then check the author pages. I tried it and found that Yoast wordpress SEO plugin causes this problem. But i really want to use this plugin for SEO. Please help how to handle this. Thanks

Go into SEO/Titles & Metas then click 'Other' in the top tabs.

Untick 'Disable the author archives' and your problem will be solved.
