    This is very simple and I think AppThemes Team can put this feature on the new version.

    Open your functions.php file under the theme folder.

    At the end of file, before ?> add this:

    Code:
    // change author base permalink
function change_author_permalinks() {
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $wp_rewrite->author_base = '';
    $wp_rewrite->author_structure = '/' . $wp_rewrite->author_base. '/%author%';
}
add_action('init','change_author_permalinks');
    Save the file and close.

    Now to go your WP Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks and just click on Save Changes and it's done.

    If you want something like www.mysite.com/advertiser/username just change:

    Code:
    $wp_rewrite->author_base = 'advertiser';
    That's all.

    Well, my example above without author_base won't work...

    Actually will work for author's base but all the other links will be broken.

    You must have a prefix for it, like the second example -> $wp_rewrite->author_base = 'advertiser';

    If you don't want to do it manually, there is a plugin called [url=http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/edit-author-slug/]Edit Author Slug[/code] which does the same thing but it have more implementations.
