## Wopisanje

This plugin replaces the author slug with a sanitized version of the user’s display
name.

This plugin will not prevent hackers from finding out your login name but the login
name won’t be visible
 in the author archive’s URL, which works towards your friendly
URLs with using your display name.

DO NOT use this on a site with more than 1000 registered users, as updating all 
of their nicenames at once might break your site.

## Instalacija

 1. Download WP Author Slug.
 2. Unzip the folder into the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress.

This plugin would probably work OK if you have a small number of users (e.g. if 
your site doesn’t allow public login). But if you have a large number of users (
e.g. if you are running ecommerce or allow users to register for other reasons),
this plugin will probably take down your site. The reason is that there are hooks
that run when you activate or delete the plugin. It runs database fetch and update
queries on every user in your database, all in-line on the request (rather than 
background via a cron). So if you have a thousand or more users it attempts to do
a thousand or more database writes when you click Activate or Delete from the plugins
list. This will likely grind your website to a halt. It would be better/useable 
if you could either choose to only apply these scripts to specific user types (e.
g. Author) or if you could run the update in batches in the background.

Easy way to add some obscurity to login guessing. But please update as it’s over
2 years now.

This plugin should be part of Wordpress core. It really does help to hide usernames
of Site Users in URL, Which makes hackers to get through the security.
