Descripción

Finally fix WordPress’s biggest username limitation! WordPress permanently locks usernames by default, but Username Changer breaks through this restriction, giving you complete control over user identities on your WordPress site.

Why You Need This Plugin:

Fix username mistakes instantly:
– Made a typo during user registration? Fix it in seconds!
– Need to standardize usernames across your organization? Done!
– User wants to change their login name for security? No problem!

Enhanced security and professionalism:
– Quickly update compromised usernames without losing user data
– Maintain brand consistency with standardized naming conventions
– Resolve username conflicts when merging sites or migrating users

Trusted solution since 2011 with continuous updates and improvements.

Key Features That Make Username Changing Effortless:

✓ One-click username updates directly from user profiles
✓ Preserve all user data, posts, and metadata during changes
✓ Zero data loss – everything stays intact
✓ Email notifications when usernames are changed
✓ Nickname support for additional flexibility
✓ Multisite compatible – manage usernames across your entire network
✓ Proper username sanitization to prevent security issues
✓ SQL-optimized performance that won’t slow down your site
✓ Clean, standards-compliant code that works with other plugins

Perfect For:

WordPress Agencies:
– Standardize client usernames across multiple sites
– Fix registration errors during site migrations
– Maintain professional username conventions

Security-Conscious Site Owners:
– Quickly change usernames if security concerns arise
– Update generic usernames (like «admin») to improve security
– Rotate usernames as part of security protocols

Community & Membership Sites:
– Allow users to update their own usernames (when configured)
– Resolve username disputes between members
– Maintain clean, consistent member directories

Content Sites with Multiple Authors:
– Works seamlessly with Co-Authors Plus and other author plugins
– Update author usernames without breaking content associations
– Keep author profiles consistent and professional

Simple Setup – Powerful Results:
1. Install the plugin (30 seconds)
2. Navigate to any user’s profile page
3. Change the username instantly
4. That’s it! The change applies across your entire site

No complicated settings, no technical headaches – just the username freedom WordPress should have included by default!

Blocked access to wp-admin

savingyourtail 22 de febrero de 2025
This plugin completely blocked access to wp-admin after changing a username. The wp-admin login page now just goes to a blank white page. I had to restore a backup on my site in order to fix it. I think I read the plugin hasn’t been updated in 5 years so I guess something has broken. Do not recommend.

Worked great

mlipenk 15 de noviembre de 2024
I recently set up OpenID on one of my Wordpress sites, and needed to update the usernames to a different ID to coincide with single sign-on authentication. Installed this plugin, and it worked, without issue. I’m leery of any plugin that hasn’t been updated for the latest version of Wordpress. I’m also leery of any plugin that hasn’t had any updates for four years. So I installed, used, and then deactivated and deleted. I’d rather be safe than sorry.
