Change author permalink using htaccess?
it’s simpler to do this via your theme’s functions.php or a plugin rather than .htaccess: function wpse31040_author_rewrite(){ add_rewrite_rule( ‘author/([0-9]+)/?$’, ‘index.php?author=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpse31040_author_rewrite’ ); make sure to visit the permalinks settings page after adding this to flush rewrite rules.
