Overview of the issue

When using Yoast SEO, the plugin automatically adds Open Graph meta tags to the head section of author archive pages. However, on translated author archive pages, the og:url meta tag will display the URL in the default language.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

  • Open your theme’s functions.php file.
    /**
     * Workaround to fix og:url meta tag on translations of author archives
     */
    add_filter( 'wpseo_opengraph_url', function($url, $presentation){
    
    	if ( $presentation instanceof YoastWPSEOPresentationsIndexable_Author_Archive_Presentation ){
    		$user_id = $presentation->source['post_author'];
    		$url = rawurlencode( get_author_posts_url($user_id) );
    	}
    
    	return $url;
    }, 10, 2 );
