## Description

To prevent that usernames are publically visible, the username in the author’s permalink
is replaced with the author’s ID.
 In case the page is invoked with the default 
permalink structure, it is displayed “Page not found”.

Additionally it is possible to modify the author base. It is recommended to make
use of this plugin to change it, but it also works with other plugins that have 
the functionality to customize the author base.

## Installation

 1. Upload `change-author-link-structure.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Unzip `change-author-link-structure.zip`.
 3. Activate the plugin in the admin menu ‘Plugins’.
