## Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Upload `extra-authors-redirect` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Check the author(s) you want redirected.

## FAQ

  Does this affect posts / pages / admin / ???

No. this only affects people going to the /author/ template page on a site, and 
only affects those that have been marked to redirect.

  Can I change where the redirect goes?

Yes. There is a filter to change the default behavior. In your functions file, include
the following:

    ```
    function new_auth_url($location) {
        $location = 'http://google.com';
        return $location;
    }
    add_filter( 'extra_author_redirect_url', 'new_auth_url' );
    ```
