Beschrijving

Change usernames of your WordPress users effectively.

Change Username

This plugin allows you to change usernames of your WordPress users in an effective and safe way.

By default, WordPress itself does not allow usernames to be changed. The other plugins for changing usernames do not scale all that well for sites with a large number of users.

This plugin takes a different approach by simply enhancing the default “edit user” page and then processing the username change over AJAX, resulting in a much faster and user-friendly experience.

Requirements

  • PHP version 7.2 or higher
  • WordPress version 4.1 or higher

FAQ

Where is the settings page?

Change Username does not come with its own settings page. You can change the username of your users on the page where you would normally edit that user.

Can users change their own username?

Not right now. Only logged-in users with the edit_users capability can change usernames.

Can I use this plugin on MultiSite?

Yes.

Does exactly what it should

clip1492 26 juni 2025
The plugin does exactly what it promises — and it does it well, without any issues. Some might point out the lack of frequent updates, but in my opinion, that’s actually a good sign: when a plugin this simple works reliably, it means there’s nothing that needs fixing.It also integrates perfectly into the user page, with no bloat or unnecessary overhead — clean, simple and efficient.

It still works well but hasn’t been updated in a long time

It still works well but it hasn’t been updated in a long time, so I recommend another one: WP Edit Username

I typed in the new username, but nothing happened. It does not work.

Great idea, as sometimes emails can become usernames

recons 10 maart 2017
Great idea, as sometimes emails can become usernames, which is not desirable. Or generally changing other undesirable instances.
