   Thank you for the information. But can I delete the plugin after changing the author’s URL slug? Or, the changed URL will also be deleted with this?

     We would recommend checking out the plugin’s FAQ as they cover when you are able to remove the plugin or when you would be unable to.

   Seems like this is outdated? I cannot find “Edit author slug” when I go to Edit user profile (I am logged in as Admin). Any new tips for this?

     You would want to ensure the plugin is installed and activated for the section to be visible.

   Thank you so much! I had no idea this plugin existed. Now, I have both more professional-looking (and SEO-friendly) author slugs and my usernames are fully private, so I don’t have to worry about would-be hackers. It was the one thing my security plugin didn’t seem to deal with, so I’m very pleased.

   I can also confirm that this plugin works with the latest version of WordPress, even though it technically hasn’t been tested for it (last update was a year ago). I guess when a plugin works, it works.

   Thanks for this post! My author slug was something like myname_somerandomcharcter and since it was my username i couldn’t even change it and all my posts had this author slug. SEO analysis would reveal this slug as SEO unfriendly URL. Now I have changed it using this plugin! Thanks again!

    Great article, I have a problem though.

    I set a custom structure in the permalink settings to article/%postname%/. However it also affects my author pages and now I’m left with article/author/%author%.

    Please can you help?

      You are only able to create a URL which consists of the PRIMARY category and the post name.
      Head over to Settings->Permalinks and choose “custom structure”. In the your can click on the buttons below the input field or paste the following:
      /%category%/%postname%/

    Quick question about old URLs and search engines. Since I’ve been using this site for about 11 years, I know the old author URLs are in the search engines and possibly other places as well.

    Shouldn’t we add a redirect to .htaccess so all old links are redirected to the new author URL?

    Thank you for your advice.

      Hi Matt,

      Yes, if your author pages are indexed by search engines, then you will need to setup redirects. See our guide on how to create redirects in WordPress for detailed instructions.

        Thanks for your quick reply!

        To better assist other users, this is what I came up with. Please correct any .htaccess coding issues as you see fit.

        # Redirect Old author URL to new one 3/14/17 (Matt)
        RedirectMatch 301 /old-user/ http://www.example.com/author/new-user/

    You add this in your theme function.php
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $wp_rewrite->author_base = “member”; // or whatever
    $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

    OMG, a lifesaver! A hacker used my exact (and weird) username. I finally figured out that it was being displayed in author/username (even though Woo Canvas asks me how I want to display my name), and this is the only post (I’ve been searching hours) to offer a simple solution for a non-programmer. I love you, WPBeginner….
