In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] Hide for non administrator in profile userThe slug options aren’t shown on profile pages for non-administrators by default. You have to explicitly allow this via code or a role manager plugin.
Are you experiencing something different?

In reply to: [BP Block Users] Please add the possibility of Banning members to each otherI don’t see this happening for this plugin, and it’s not the intended goal. This plugin is for site administrators to handle unruly users who haven’t quite reached the spam/delete stage of annoyance.

In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] i can’t get rid of /author/ in the middleSorry. There are other plugins out there that will remove the author base for you thought.
@wordpresschina The answer is no, because technically, when you change the author slug, you’re changing the
user_nicename. By default, when you create a user, WordPress bases theuser_nicenameyou the newly created username. This is also the default author slug format in Edit Author Slug. If that’s what you’re looking to use, then you really don’t need Edit Author Slug at all.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] Can I use this once and then uninstall?@soprano Sorry for the late response.
The answer is it depends. If you’re changing the author base, then you need to keep the plugin around. If you’re only changing your author slug, then that change is persistent, and you are fine to deactivate and remove the plugin. This is actually how I use the plugin most often.

In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] redirect 301 old slugWhat @chesio said 😉
There are also a few plugins that handle redirections.
Sorry for the delay in response.
I’ve have written multiple tests, and I can’t make this happen. If you’re still using the plugin, I’d be interested to hear what you’re Edit Author Slug settings are. Specifically, do you have automatic author slug creation turned on?
The “-2” suffix is not something my plugin adds. That’s done by WP itself.
Also, you say that your login name is changed. My plugin doesn’t change your login name, but I suspect you are referring to the author slug (in the context of code/database this is technically the
user_nicename).Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] broken since update to 3.5Thank you! I was able to reproduce and fix scenario 2. I’m hoping something similar to that scenario is where others were having issues as well. Fix will be coming in the next few days. Hopefully, within a few hours.

In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] broken since update to 3.5I’ve yet to be able to reproduce this, but, as you can see, you’re not the only one having this issue. I’m working on what I hope will be a fix, but I want to try and get more information before I release it. Can you give the steps/scenario that lead to the issue?
Also, do any of the below apply:
1) you just installed the plugin, then went to the settings page and updated the author base. You try a URL with the new author base, and you get a 404 page.2) You had the plugin previously activated, but, for one reason or another, you deactivated. Upon reactivation, the settings page says that you have changed your author base (based on your previous settings), but when you try a URL with the new author base you get a 404 page.
Thanks in advance for any help!

In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] Works PerfectlyThanks for the kind review. I’m sorry you had to manually update your permalinks. That shouldn’t be necessary, and, in fact, wasn’t necessary in the past. I’ve yet to be able to reproduce the issue, but I know you’re not the only one who’s encountered this. I’m working on an update that will, hopefully, fix this.
This has been requested a number of times. I’m still considering if I want to add this, and what type of architectural changes will be necessary to make this happen.
