### 󠀁[Works exactly as advertised](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-exactly-as-advertised-38/)󠁿

 [tnightingale](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tnightingale/) 27 Luglio 2022

This is a must have, no-frills plugin for any member site where you have member 
profiles. By default WordPress uses the username as the slug for the author.php-
based profile – a big security issue. This plugin does exactly what it says it should–
uses the user ID instead, and lets you change the base slug as well. I have never
used such a new plugin before or one with less than thousands of instalments, and
no reviews, but decided to take a chance as it was just what I was looking for. 
I did find a couple of issues, and the author responded right away with tips to 
solve one and a new version to fix the others and make the plugin even better. Maybe
one day this will become core. It should be.
