Simple and perfect

I used to install “Edit Author Slug” in every one of my website, but I always wished for simpler settings.

I love this “smart User Slug Hider” because it needs no configuration if you have installed WordPress in PHP 7.2 or newer.

It has been working perfectly so far, and seems to be lightweight.

I’d highly recommend this plugin over “Edit Author Slug” if there will be only one author in a website, because it is unlikely for viewers to bookmark the author archive page, thus the page doesn’t need a comprehensible URL.
