WordPress is a great blogging platform.Here i am going to discuss a small problem faced by so many bloggers.That is the problem with WordPress Author Archive Permalinks.
For example you have an author with nick name Kishore Mylavarapu, the corresponding author page look like this,
http://www.devilsduke.com/author/Kishore%20Mylavarapu/
This is really hurting our SEO.So we may want a better permalink structure for our Author Archives, Something like this,
http://www.devilsduke.com/author/Kishore-Mylavarapu/
You can make it by simply following below steps.
- Goto your C panel and open your PhpMyAdmin.
- There select your WordPress database and then click on browse “wp_users” table from that.
- In that find your username in the “user_login” column.Click the Edit button (the pencil icon) on that row.
- Enter the desired URL version of your name into the “user_nicename" field.
- Click “Go” to save your changes.
Now you can check your author archive permalinks modified structure.
