Hi there,

I added the following to my theme functions.php to accomplish it:

function change_author_permalinks() {

global $wp_rewrite;

// Change the value of the author permalink base to whatever you want here
$wp_rewrite->author_base = 'profile';

$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

add_action('init','change_author_permalinks')

function change_author_permalinks() {

global $wp_rewrite;

// Change the value of the author permalink base to whatever you want here

$wp_rewrite->author_base = 'profile';

$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

}

add_action('init','change_author_permalinks')

Sorry, I see the code got messed up above.
Here is correct code below:

function change_author_permalinks() {

global $wp_rewrite;

// Change the value of the author permalink base to whatever you want here
$wp_rewrite->author_base = ‘profile’;

$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

add_action(‘init’,’change_author_permalinks’)

Thank you, but a implementation with a setting to turn it on/off in backend would be better for update propose 😉

Zoker, if you put the above code in functions.php of theme it won’t be overridden with userpro updates. That’s why hooks and filters come to play. They do not need to be added to plugin core. 🙂

Yes but when I update the theme?

So it would be much better to add it as core function of userpro (just next to the other redirect settings).

Dont you agree?

You can add it to child theme. 🙂
