title: Wordpress Author Permalinks
body: <p>I know how to change the base of the author permalinks, however on my site, I refer to users not by their username but by a number based on their User ID, so User number 5 wrote this post, rather than JohnDoe123 wrote this post.</p>
  
  <p>The problem comes when I go to that users archives and instead of seeing something like example.com/authors/5/ I see example.com/authors/johndoe123/ .</p>
  
  <p>How do I change permalinks so that I can pull up author archives using the following structure? :</p>
  
  <p>[wordpress_site_url]/authors/[user_ID]/</p>
