Edit Author Slug

Allows an admin (or capable user) to edit the author slug of a user, and change the author base.

0.8.1

  • Fix a bug that prevented non-admin users from updating their profile

0.8.0

  • Drastically improved error handling and feedback for author slug editing.
  • Restore duplicate author slug check as old method could alter the slug without any sort of warning.
  • Further improve the logic for flushing rewrite rules.
  • Introduce ba_eas_can_edit_author_slug() and matching filter to make it even easier to give users the ability to update their own author slug.
  • Add message in plugins list warning users of WP less than 3.2 that 0.8 is the last update they'll receive.

0.7.2

  • Remove overzealous cap check.

0.7.1

  • Fix some unfortunate errors I missed before tagging 0.7.

0.7

  • Significant code refactoring.
  • Added custom capability to give site admins the ability to add author slug access to other roles.
  • Improvements/optimizations to code logic.
  • Fixed an incorrect textdomain string.
  • Removed filter added in 0.6 as it was messy. It's much easier to achieve the same result without the plugin.
  • Got rid of wp_die() statement on duplicate author slugs in favor of WP's built-in duplicate author slug method.

0.6.1

  • Added Dutch translation - props Juliette Reinders Folmer.
  • Don't hard code the languages folder path.
  • Improve class check/initialization.

0.6

0.5

  • Added 'Author Slug' column to Users > Authors & Users (Users > Users in 3.0) page (props Yonat Sharon for the jumpstart).
