Before
The task “Block Author Enumeration” is not yet set up cleanly on your site or still has to be handled manually.
Result
What changes before and after implementation
After
Leon prepares Block Author Enumeration as a Workflow, so you can review, adapt, and then publish the change in a controlled way.
Implementation
How Leon can implement this task
For Block Author Enumeration, Leon usually uses a Workflow approach that matches your Security goal.
How can you block author enumeration in WordPress? This use case shows how a focused WordPress code snippet can handle the task without installing a heavy plugin. The snippet should block author archive enumeration requests and produce this result: Requests like ?author=1 are redirected or blocked to hide usernames. You can also log in to LeonLab.ai, describe this WordPress use case in plain English, generate the snippet, review the PHP code, and deploy it to the selected WordPress project.
Requests like ?author=1 are redirected or blocked to hide usernames.
as a focused WordPress workflow with reviewable steps
with an implementation that matches the task and project context
suited for a controlled rollout instead of a quick hack

Depending on the task, Leon prepares Workflow. Before a live rollout, walk through the flow once in a controlled way.
- test the change on a connected staging site or in the playground first
- review the prompt and planned implementation before publishing
- approve the code or action only after that review
