FolioVision

<p>This is a fix of Top Level Category plugin for WordPress 3.1. and further versions. It’s purpose is to provide the same behavior as the original plugin, but in new WordPress versions.</p>
<p>The Top Level Categories plugin allows you to remove the prefix before the URL to your category page. For example, instead of http://foliovision.com/category/work, you can use http://foliovision.com/work for the address of “work” category. WordPress doesn’t allow you to have a blank prefix for categories (they insert <code>category/</code> before the name), this plugin works around that restriction.</p>
<p>This plugin works also if you have a permalink structure like %postname% or %category%/%postname% — this wasn’t possible in the original version. However, this feature might not work properly for child categories at this point. Test carefully!</p>

This is a fix of Top Level Categories plugin for Wordpress 3.1. and above.

Grégory Viguier

<p>With this plugin, administrators can change the default author base in the registered users profile url, and the author slug of each user.<br />
Changing an author slug is a good thing for security (if your login is “This Is Me”, your slug will be “this-is-me”, a bit easy to guess).<br />
The plugin adds 2 fields for this purpose, one in permalinks settings, the other in a user profile.</p>
<ul>
<li>Default: <em>example.com/author_base/author_nicename/</em></li>
<li>Customized: <em>example.com/jedi/obiwan/</em></li>
</ul>
<h4>How to edit the slugs</h4>
<ul>
<li>Go to <em>Settings</em> > <em>Permalinks</em> to edit the author base: “author” => “jedi”</li>
<li>Go to <em>Users</em> > <em>“Any user profile”</em> to edit the user slug: “agent-smith” => “obiwan”</li>
</ul>
