Description

The most themes makes an link of the author name. This link navigates to the author archive. We give users the option to redirect the author archives. At the moment the target of this redirect will be the homepage.

We might want to make this filterable to set the target to a about-us/about page.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the author-archive redirect implementation and its existing redirect-related filters, then determine where the redirect target can be exposed as a filter; done means callers can change the target from the homepage to another page and the behavior is covered by the relevant tests.
