Screenshots
The permalinks settings page
The user edit page
Why the fields don’t display?
You probably don’t have the edit_users capability (for user slug) and manage_options capability (for author base).
Eventually, check out my blog for more infos or tips (sorry guys, it’s in french, but feel free to leave a comment in english).
Will I keep the customized links if I uninstall the plugin?
Not exactly. The author base won’t be customized anymore, but each user will keep his customized author slug.
To retrieve the initial author slugs, empty the field on each user edit page (only the customized ones of course).
