Hi, Txanny
I'm testing your community plugin (which I find fantastic btw.) and the way it interacts with user roles.
I have the Role Manager plugin activated. Created new role "partner" (copy of author), all works as expected to list the users.
However, the "View this author's posts" link on http://example.com/who-is-who/user/johndoe still points to the original author role instead of the newly created "partner:
http://example.com/author/johndoe as opposed to
http://example.com/partner/johndoe
Do you have any idea how to fix this?
I also tested the inclusion of extra fields in the profile page by using the CIMY Extra Fields plugin and haven't found any problems yet.

Update: the link points to the correct location (Author Archives), it's just the author part that I would like to change
I cannot understand your question. What do you want exactly to be changed?
The "Author's posts" link always points to the author archives, as author archives is a WordPress feature and the link is set as WordPress expects it.
Perhaps you want the text to point to another place? If so, you can make your custom profile template and set the style and content for the page as you want.
I wanted the text "author" to be replaced by "partner" (new role):
http://example.com/the-new-role/johndoe
Just found the same question in the tracker.
Thanks.
In what ticket number did you found the solution? Just to know how it can be done...
Thanks.
Sorry, question is still open in the tracker:

Oh, yes. I see what you mean now. This is planned but there are no ETA, as fist we have other features in the roadmap.
The feature is only for the community plugin pages, it will not affect the WordPress internal links like author pages. In author WordPress author pages, the word author is hardcoded and is not related to roles. The word 'author' in the link refers to the author post, not to the role 'author'.
