http://www.example.com/editorial/author-name/
http://www.example.com/crew/author-name/
http://www.example.com/members/author-name/
http://www.example.com/posts-by/author-name/
etc.

- Upload the author-slug folder to your wp-content/plugins folder,
- Activate the plugin through the WordPress admin,

Please help Me…!!

By the way, you wouldn’t be able to add a feature that could change the “page/2″ slug (that appears on paged archives) to something configurable, say, “my_special_page/2″?
That would be a killer for non-English blogs.
May 19, 2009 (10:43 am)
To clarify things a little, I meant e.g. the author page that has permalink “author/author-name”, but if you browse the posts, it’ll get “author/author-name/page/2″. That “page” part should be configurable, but it’s not and I can’t seem to find any plugin to fix. (Don’t want to hack the core.)
But anyways, thanks for a perfect author slug plugin!

nice. thanks!
June 19, 2009 (12:24 am)
just a quick note for those who might be having an issue, the installation failed and gave me a fatal error: unexpected $end on line 74. That was because my server requires strict php tags.
I simply changed all the shorthand <?= to and the one <? to <?php and voila!
Thanks again!
June 19, 2009 (12:25 am)
lol – sorry – the shorthand <?= to
June 19, 2009 (12:25 am)
it’s stripping my php – lol

Hi Kiddo! Great plugin. REally useful, but I found a little problem. If you try to get the author’s feed after change the slug, you’ll get a error. Any clue to how fix that?
Thanks!
March 26, 2010 (6:10 pm)
I like this plugin but my RSS and FEED links for author pages no longer work. The old original author/name/feed page works but not the new edited one that links try to go to. Any ideas?
March 29, 2010 (8:39 am)
Hello, I found a bug in your plugin. On line 29 the code reads:
return get_option(“siteurl”) . “/” . get_option(“AS_author_slug”) . “/” . $author_nickname . “/”;
For those of us who are running a mod_rewrite installation where wordpress appears to be installed in the root, this is not working. The line should read:
return get_bloginfo(“url”) . “/” . get_option(“AS_author_slug”) . “/” . $author_nickname . “/”;
i.e. change to “get_bloginfo(‘url’)”.
Thank you!
April 28, 2010 (8:13 pm)
Great spot Mans
I just wanted to add this – I’ve done it a different way, after looking at the WP Options reference.
I used:
return get_option(“home”)
But you can definitely use any of them
Thanks for the plugin!

there’s a bug though: author-feed is running into 404-page
November 15, 2010 (10:33 am)
I confirm, there a bug in the 2.0 release.
Now all link include /blog/ before the author slug, so all all are now in 404.
Could you help solving this problem ?
November 15, 2010 (11:00 am)
@Marco – This issue is solved in version 2.0
@David – Marco was talking about version 1.0. I don’t believe this is a bug. You should check the URL’s in your blog settings.
November 15, 2010 (11:44 am)
@microkit: thanks for the update, but still no feed:
http://www.hofstijl.nl/auteur/raaphorst/feed
November 15, 2010 (11:51 am)
@Marco – Hm.. should work though. Are you using any other plugins that might influence this? I see you are using WP version 2.9.2, updating to 3.0 might also help.
November 15, 2010 (12:36 pm)
thanks, I will try the upgrade. I am using http://www.satollo.net/plugins/hyper-cache which might be conflicting.
December 28, 2010 (2:28 am)
The so called more efficient way sucks big time. liked the old one much better
December 28, 2010 (2:31 am)
As pointed out above, in version 2.0, the author slug is now added to my permalink settings, e.g. /blog/author-slug/author-nicename….
In version 1.0 it would take out the /blog/ part.
I’m downgrading to 1.0 again.
March 20, 2011 (10:35 am)
This plugin messed up my author slug after I set custom permalinks… Now I can’t reset the slug back to author. Is there a way to reset the author slug? Now the author pages aren’t working. HELP!!!

@Liesl, I have the same issue — using custom permalinks broke the functionality of this plugin. I had to revert back to default permalinks, which is not ideal. I didn’t see a reply to your post. Did you find a solution?
August 19, 2011 (8:35 pm)
Thanks for this! look forward to implementing it in my WP blog.
August 24, 2011 (11:15 am)
Hi,
On line 74 of v2.0, in the
AS_options_pagefunction, you are using a PHP short tag, e.g.<?. Some servers (like mine) really don’t like this, and throw fatal errors. Any chance you could change it to a<?phpinstead, please?Cheers,
Simon

@Simon,
Thanks, very sloppy of me. I will try to fix it asap!

Hi there, looks like this plugin could be perfect for me. However it is not working as I was hoping. I already have a [necessary] custom structure prefixed with /news/.
This is still staying in place when I set a author base slug using your plugin. Eg. if I change the setting in your plugin to start with blog/author, it ends up being /news/blog/author/. I really want to get rid of that /news/ bit if I can!
Thanks,
Simon

This plugin appears to have broken in WordPress 3.3. Have you had a chance to test it on that version?
January 26, 2012 (4:57 pm)
The plugin seems to be working well, but I think there is a little bug. Any user other than the administrator is not able to edit their profile—they get a message that the author slug cannot be blank (although it is not blank when I look at their profile as an administrator). Is there any way to correct this?
March 30, 2012 (3:52 am)
I have this question, If the user submits an article, is it possible to put the user ID number (or author ID number) in the article’s URL that he submitted?
Thank you.

I dont want the real names of my editors, just their nicknames.
