    Hi,

    When you published an article, we can see id of the author and date. By default, id is the same that used to connect to the administration of your site wordpress. We can change it in the regulations of the users.

    However, when we leave the mouse on id, we have that on the code (with firebug).

    <div class="entry-meta">
<a class="author" href="https://www.siteweb.com/author/xxxxxxxxxx/" rel="author">MFC</a>

    xxxxxxxx = id to connect to wordpress admin
    MFC = id modified

    Which file edit to modify the real id which appears on the link ?

    That’s the permalink for the author archives you’re referring to, versus the author’s display name. The permalink contains the author username, which you can not really change, unlike the display name, which you can set to whatever you like.

    You can, however, create a new user with the desired username, delete the old user and attribute all posts and comments to the new user, which should change all the permalinks as well. Don’t forget to backup!

    Hope that helps.
