By Editorial Staff in Featured, WordPress No Comments Tags: Author, Author URL, Shortcode, Snippet, URL, URL Base, WordPress Shortcode, WordPress Snippets

By default, author profiles are accessible using the pre-defined slug yourwebsite.com/author/name. What if there will be a case when you want to use the term “author-profile” or any other instead of just “author” in the URL. Pasting the following code in your theme’s functions.php file will change author URL base. Remember to replace profile on line 4 by any slug you like.

add_action('init', 'cng_author_base');
function cng_author_base() {
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $author_slug = 'profile'; // change slug name
    $wp_rewrite->author_base = $author_slug;
}

add_action('init', 'cng_author_base');

function cng_author_base() {

global $wp_rewrite;

$author_slug = 'profile'; // change slug name

$wp_rewrite->author_base = $author_slug;
