Enhance Your WordPress Security with WP Author Slug

WP Author Slug is a free WordPress plugin designed to improve the privacy of user profiles by replacing the author slug in URLs with a sanitized version of the user's display name. This functionality enhances the overall security posture of a website by obscuring the actual login name from being displayed in author archive URLs. As a result, it contributes to creating more user-friendly URLs while maintaining a level of anonymity for content creators.

However, users should exercise caution when utilizing this plugin, particularly on sites with a large number of registered users. It is advised to avoid implementing this plugin on sites with over 1000 users, as the bulk update of all user nicenames could potentially disrupt site functionality. Overall, WP Author Slug is a straightforward tool for WordPress users looking to enhance their site's security and URL aesthetics.
