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

The default author url for author is http://www.myblog.com/author/author_name. Is there any way of changing it to http://www.myblog.com/author_name.?
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!

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

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!

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!

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!
