How to change author url base on your WordPress site – CodeRevolution

In WordPress, author profile are by default accessible using the url yoursite.com/author/name. But what if you want to use the term “profile” instead of “author” in the url? Here is a handy recipe to do so.

Pasting the following code on your functions.php file will change the default yoursite.com/author/name to yoursite.com/profile/name.
Replace profile on line 4 by any slug you want.

 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; }
