 * Hi, I’m debugging sorry and picked up an error in my test site with wp-debug 
   set to true when the profile is updated:
 * Undefined property: stdClass::$user_nicename in….plugins/edit-author-slug/includes/
   admin-functions.php on line 172
 * Just to let you know.
    Best

 * Thanks for the heads up. I’m honestly surprised you’re seeing that message. I
   can add a fix to prevent that error, but there’s something else going on with
   your setup that’s causing that to happen. Something that shouldn’t be happening.
   Are you running any other plugins that deal with users/user management?

 * It only happens with wp-debug set to true, it’s fine otherwise.
    I’ve tried disabling
   all other plugins but it still does it. I’ve not been using any plugins with 
   user management. It might be that the test site is in a sub directory or something
   like that perhaps?
 * Please don’t worry it’s not too important I’m going to uninstall it at some point
   anyway and start with a new install again to make sure I didn’t change something
   like you suggest.
 * Thanks

 * I only develop with WP_DEBUG set to true, and I’ve never seen that error, which
   is why I’m baffled. What version of Edit Author Slug are you using?

 * I think I’ve narrowed it down to being a possible SSL issue.
 * With wp-debug set to true on a site without being installed in the ssl protocol
   I don’t get the error when updating the user profile settings.
 * I should have said the test site is installed over ssl sorry. The admin and front
   end is over ssl.
 * I was finding other issues today with the discussion settings in WordPress not
   updating when admin is over ssl so I think this is the problem.
 * I think perhaps I should test websites without it and get more sleep LOL!

 * Ha! Well I was poking around in my code as well. While I can’t discount your 
   SSL theory, I do think I found the issue. It’s difficult to reproduce, so maybe
   something about using SSL better exposes the bug. It’s a small change, so I’ll
   push it out soon. Make sure you check it with SSL on once the update hits, and
   let me know what you see.

 * Edit Author Slug 1.0.1 is out. Give it a go and let me know what you see. Hopefully,
   your issue is gone 😉

 * Yes that got rid of the error- must have been my ssl showing it up as you say.
   Thanks 🙂
