<p>Sectorize is an elegant, plug-and-play WordPress plugin that repurposes author archives into “sector”-based URLs using the required nickname field for username. It hides sensitive <code>/author/username</code> slugs and redirects them to clean, secure <code>/sector/{nickname}</code> URLs which improves privacy and branding. It also transforms author archives (pages SEO plugins often recommend disabling) into structured, sector-based archives.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Security-first: prevents exposure of login-based author slugs</li>
<li>Zero configuration: Install, activate, and it works immediately</li>
<li>Collective authorship: uses the site name in Schema.org markup so all content is attributed to the collective brand</li>
<li>Sector-based bylines: display sector nicknames in place of author names — ideal for single-author sites or when contributors prefer anonymity</li>
<li>Governance-safe: clear admin guidance; never change login/username, only nicknames</li>
<li>SEO-ready: automatic schema markup, optimized titles, and canonical URLs</li>
<li>Smart redirects: 301 redirects from <code>/author/username</code> to <code>/sector/nickname</code></li>
<li>Admin UI: settings page with one-click rewrite flush and success notices</li>
<li>User management: adds “Sector Nickname” column to the Users table</li>
</ul>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Content creators: organize posts by sector (e.g. “Insights”, “Reviews”) without exposing author logins</li>
<li>Corporate sites: group content by department (“Marketing”, “Support”) with sector archives</li>
<li>Industry portals: create thematic sectors (“Finance”, “Technology”, “Healthcare”)</li>
<li>Regional content: build geographic sectors (“North America”, “Europe”, “Asia Pacific”)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Live Example</h3>
<p>Sectorize is actively used on <a href="https://ictstart.com" rel="nofollow ugc">ICTStart.com</a>:<br />
* <a href="https://ictstart.com/sector/article/" rel="nofollow ugc">Article sector</a><br />
* <a href="https://ictstart.com/sector/review/" rel="nofollow ugc">Review sector</a><br />
* <a href="https://ictstart.com/sector/insight/" rel="nofollow ugc">Insights sector</a></p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p><strong>In WordPress Admin:</strong><br />
– Manage sector users via Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Sectorize<br />
– The Author dropdown in the post editor shows sector nicknames<br />
– The Author column in post lists displays sector nicknames</p>
<p><strong>On Your Website:</strong><br />
– Author names are replaced with sector nicknames automatically<br />
– Archive pages organize content by sector at /sector/{nickname}/<br />
– Schema.org markup attributes content to the site name for collective branding</p>
<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<p>Sectorize customizes author archives and collective authorship in WordPress. The plugin organizes and displays content but does not replace the systems required for professional news or magazine sites.</p>
<p>Publishing at scale demands attention to:<br />
* Editorial workflows (clear roles for writing, editing, and approval)<br />
* Legal responsibility (accountability for all published content)<br />
* Theme configuration (design and functionality tailored to the site’s needs)<br />
* Security and compliance (protection for the site and its users)</p>
<p>Sectorize manages authorship metadata. Site governance, accuracy, and liability remain the responsibility of the publisher.</p>
<h3>License</h3>
<p>GPLv2 or later</p>
