Author Pages with 2-2-2

    I just noticed something really bizarre. Some of my author pages are getting re-created with a bunch of 2’s in them. Example:

    http://www.triplepundit.com/author/andrea-newell-2-2-2-2-2-2-2/

    This is not only ugly but probably bad for SEO. I think I’ve isolated the problem to be happening when authors change their passwords (some of them seem to do it a lot and each time it adds a 2!) . This seems like a bit of a bug to me. Any other ideas on what could be causing this and how to fix?

    Thanks!

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Well… this may be way too hard to diagnose that way (ie, I already can’t reproduce for my own account, god knows why). Do you know of any way to just “reset” those author pages?

    Only by removing the author accounts and assigning the posts to a new author account.

    oh man… I guess I could do that. Make dummy account, move temporarily, then reset? Dang. No plugins that let you just make a custom url for certain authors? (I’ve searched)
