    hello, when i am in my blog, and i do a mouseover the user user who did the blog entry, you will see
    in the statusbar of the browser the username……..thats fine, but so a hacker can see, the username ……

    is there a possibility to send the user not to the http://www.xyz/author/USERNAME but rather to maybe a about me page?

    regrads harry

    Hey!

    Please add following code to Functions.php file in Appearance > Editor and change the link to your about me page

    function add_custom_script(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery("span.fn a").attr("href", "http://kriesi.at");
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_script');

    Best regards,

    thanks yigit,

    i am wondering, because i thougt, in user settings, when i choose, the public name , then it should not shown the public name, name, not the admin name…….

    i think in other themes works it so……

    regards harry……

    Hi!

    As far as I know this is the default behavior for WordPress. You can change it with a plugin however and this blog posts has a walkthrough of doing just that: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-change-author-url-slug-and-base-in-wordpress/
