Wordpress Plugin: Custom Author Permalink
After a previous post where I was exposing a way to control Author Permalinks I decided to go one step forward and publicize an out-of-the-box solution in the form of this lightweight Wordpress Plugin. So here it is, making you able to translate “author” to whatever you’d like.

What It Does
It adds a very simple page under “Manage” where you’ll be able to change the wordpress author permalink base (“/author/”) to any other string.
Installation
- Download Custom Author Permalink;
- Extract its content;
- Upload the folder “CustomAuthorPermalink” to “wp-content/plugins”;
- Activate it under “Plugins”;
- Configurate it under “Manage” > “Author Permalink”.
Download
- CustomAuthorPermalink-1.0 (from Wordpress.org)
Your thoughts and suggestions on it are very welcome but go easy on me since this is my first public plugin..
Update:
The functionality hold by Custom Author Plugin has been moved (and re-written) into WP htaccess Control and I’d really encourage you to use it instead.
