2. You can add this in your functions, and it will rewrite the slug from default “author” to “classroom”,

   function new_author_base() {
       global $wp_rewrite;
       $author_slug = 'classroom';
       $wp_rewrite->author_base = $author_slug;
   }
   add_action('init', 'new_author_base');
   

   hope it helps you

3. I use “Edit Author Slug” plugin for doing the same on my http://www.techcartnow.com/author/kapil-khandelwal/ WordPress Blog. I have modified “author slug” using this plugin.

   “Edit Author Slug” plugin allows you to change both the author base (the ‘/author/’ portion of the author URLs), and the author slug (defaults to the username of the author).

4. You can add this in your functions.php:

   global $wp_rewrite;
   $wp_rewrite->author_base = "member"; // or whatever
   $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
