Author: Brandon Allen This plugin allows you to change the Author slug, without having to actually enter the database. Assuming you are an admin or a user with the "edit_users" capability, you will see an extra field on your user edit/profile edit page. This allows for greater security, as your user name isnt revealed through your URL structure. It also allows you to make your URLs look a bit cleaner. (i.e. - http://example.com/author/username/ could become http://example.com/author/user-name/)
Installation:
Upload edit-author-slug folder to your WordPress plugins directory (typically wp-content/plugins) Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress Go to your Profile page, or the profile page of another user and edit their Author slug. Click the update button, and youre done
faq:
Nothing shows up when I go to my profile page? Make sure you are an admin, or someone with the edit_users capability. What if Im not an admin? You will not be able to change your author slug. Changing the author slug too frequently, or to something non-descriptive is bad SEO, so well leave this ability to a chosen few. If this doesnt work for you, consider Justin Tadlocks [Members] (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/ "Justin Tadlocks Members plugin") plugin.

Author: Debashish Chakrabarty Author Spotlight widget displays the profile of the author width the author website link and author profile photo on the Post (Single) page. The widget automatically detects the current author of the displayed Post, just drag and drop the widget on your Single page sidebar and you are done
Installation:
Download and unzip author-profile.zip Upload the folder containing author-profile.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress To display Author Spotlight on Single page, browse to Design > Widgets and drag-and-drop the Author Spotlight" widget to desired sidebar. You may configure the Title and the text labels. By default the widget will truncate the Profile text to 100 characters, you may change this limit. Save your changes and you are done.
faq:
What if I dont set any value in the widget settings? If you dont set any values then widget displays the profile with some default text and values. The default widget title is Author Spotlight, other label defaults are More posts by the Author », Read Full and Website:. The number of characters displayed in author profile is limited to 1000 characters by default. I added the widget on home page and it doesnt work! The Widget will only work on the Post (or Single) page since it is meant to display the profile of the author of the post. If you drop the widget on any other page, that doesnt have an associated author, the widget wont display anything. I dont like my avatar image, can I upload my own photo? If you wish to display a custom photograph to go with the Authors Profile you may install the User Photo. In absence of this plugin the Author Spotlight" widget will fallback to displaying the gravatar associated with the user. The widget doesnt display my website OR my profile details are incomplete! The widget picks details from Users wordpress profile. Needless to say that if this information is not there the widget cannot display it. To set your own user-profile details go to Users > Your Profile. If you are an admin of the blog the you may also edit the profile of other users and add their profile image if the User Photo plugin is installed.
