   Hi,

   I'm trying to rewrite author permalinks to something else like "member"

   this does the trick:
   $wp_rewrite->author_base = 'atletes';
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

   I'm calling this code upon plugin activation: register_activation_hook

   But when another plugin,doesn't matter which one activates, this gets broken, and I have to deactivate and activate plugin again to change permalink again

   is this normal?

   Does this happen when you explicitly call wp_rewrite globally?

   //Ensure the $wp_rewrite global is loaded
   global $wp_rewrite;
   // rewrite
   $wp_rewrite->author_base = 'atletes';
   //regenerate the cache as a method of the $wp_rewrite object
   $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
