   I am looking for the same thing. Any luck on this topic. I actually need to change mine to "artist" but same question. If it is somewhere in the core files just point me to it.

   I am looking for the same thing. Any change is it about

   wp-includes/classes.php

   Could you just point it?

   Ha. OK, you had me looking through classes.php like crazy but I couldn't get anything working.

   Does anyone have the answer?

   Surely a moderator would know? No?

   I had another Idea. A mod-rewrite. I would think that

   RewriteRule ^artist/([A-Za-z]*)(/)?$ /author/$1

   would work, but to no avail. any reason why this wouldn't work?

   NOTE, i already have this in my .htaccess, could this be interfering? Because i get sent to my sites 404 page.

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /ema/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /ema/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

    better yet, I found the file. Line 156 of rewrite.php

    Changed:
    var $author_base = 'author';

    To:

    var $author_base = 'artist';

    NOTE: you have to update your permalink structure in "Options>Permalinks" for changes to take affect.

    thedesigncoalition; it is working :) but only for member who has an entry. With ?author_name=X you can show every members profile. I want to do it with mod rewrite

    I tried and tried and am pretty sure I had the mod-rewrite right at one point with something like this before the wp stuff

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule artist/([A-Za-z]*)(/)?$ /author/$1 [L]

    but it still just went to my 404.I think it has something to do with the wp rewrite. Sorry. My last post solution works for me but, If someone does come up with a solution, please post it.

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^member/([A-Za-z]*)(/)?$ ^index.php?author_name=$1 [L] is it working but it shows only the title

    Hmm. Not really sure my friend, to be honest with you, that is the first time I have ever even tried to do a mod-rewrite. Someone who is more familiar should be able to help.

    I solved! First, open rewrite.php find var $author_base = 'author'; (line 156) then change author to anything for example member. After that, open classes.php find if ( (0 == count($wp_query->posts)) && !is_404() && !is_search() && ( $this->did_permalink || (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && (false === strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?'))) ) ) {

    it is under function handle_404 then replace it with

    if ( (0 == count($wp_query->posts)) && !is_404() && !is_author() && !is_search() && ( $this->did_permalink || (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && (false === strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?'))) ) ) {
