   Good evening, all!

   Please excuse this close brush with spam: I posted the below to the troubleshooting forum over a day ago, but no reply... That's why I'm reposting here...

   I have a site (www.SeattleBodyworkCoop.com) that requires author page URL's to look like:

   http://www.SeattleBodyworkCoop.com/practitioners/mihal-ehven/

   instead of the default:

   http://www.SeattleBodyworkCoop.com/author/mihal-ehven/

   This worked perfectly up to 2.7.1 - I changed the value of $author_base (wp-includes\rewrite.php) from 'author' to 'practitioners'.

   However, after upgrading to 2.8, even though I have again made this modification to wp-includes\rewrite.php, I get a 404 on every author (or rather, practitioner) page.

   If you visit the above named site, you will see practitioner names/links listed in the scrolling image banner at the header, as well as in the right sidebar.

   Any thoughts?
