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.

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!

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!

lol – sorry – the shorthand <?= to
June 19, 2009 (12:25 am)

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:

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.

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

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?
