As their page notes, for security purposes, the htaccess configuration has been moved outside of the webroot and AllowOverride is set to "None" https://wiki.bitnami.com/Components/Apache/htaccess_configuration . In this instance I have an EC2 instance spun up from a BitNami (HVM) AMI. The default file to edit is /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/htaccess.conf Make a backup of the file before you edit. Add this block anywhere in the file to redirect all author landing pages to the home page. <Directory /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/> RedirectMatch 301 "^/author/.*" http://www.yourdomain.com/ </Directory> Customize to your liking if you would rather redirect to a different page. When you're done editing, run this to restart apache, then test your changes. sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache /* Joey */
