I cant remove ?author=N url to a nicename.

  • Probably should be something simple, but I looked at many sites a solution to my problem.

    I’m trying to remove the url ?author=N of a page of my site.
    I want to change https://www.mydomain.com/?author=13 to https://www.mydomain.com/profile/username So far I removed author url, however the id is still there.

    My current code is:

    }

    public static function get_profile_url($user_id = 0) {
        if ($user_id > 0) {
            $profile_url.="profile/" . $user_id;
        }

    Not sure, but I think my target is $user_id I’ve used other alternatives such as $user_nicename but it still fails, any tips? thank you in advance for attention.

  • Have you tried a plug-in named WordPress SEO by Yoast?

    Hi Samuel

    Yes, I actually use, but I dont understand how this plug-in could help me in this case.

    Hi!

    Did you change the default permalink structure in wp-admin/options-permalink.php ? it should be changed from the default one.

    I just thought Yoast would fix that issue, but you can already update it throughout the Permalink Settings page. make it Post name ..

    And to change the slug from “author” to “username”, try out this plugin

    Hi Sam

    I’m using a custom permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%/. The point is that this problem is attached to a specific page in an area near the footer. I believe the problem is exactly in the code I mentioned.
    I’ve used this plugin you indicated, but I switched to another similar, but with more functions.
    My Slug is ok, but this page exists ?author=x would like to remove.
