How to have the author archive URL as /author/nicename/ instead of ?author=id

  • Hi anamari,

    I understand that when you choose to link the user display name to go to author archive URL then the link on the display name will be of the form:

    https://mysite.com/?author=id

    Upon clicking on the link, it may get rewritten to https://mysite.com/author/nicename/

    My question is that how can we change the author archive URL to originally point to this nicename link instead of getting the rewrite?

    I suppose you may be using the get_author_posts_url($author_id, $author_nicename = '') to get the link.

    Hi, you’re correct:

    in ausers-pluggable.php replace line 203 as follows:

    //return(add_query_arg('author', $u->ID, home_url())); // 201401
return(get_author_posts_url( $u->ID ));

    That will be in the next update.

    Note that whether that generates a valid url or 404’s depends on the theme and/or whether all users in the list are authors.
