Change WordPress Username - It's very Simple!

WordPress normally does not allow you changing the username.

You can change the Password, you can change the admin email, but the username.

Well, WordPress Dashboard doesn't provide an option to change it, that doesn't mean you can not change the WordPress Username at all.

In fact, changing WordPress Password is very simple...

Using a plugin...

Called Easy Username Updater.

You can find this plugin in WordPress Plugin Directory. It is better to install it from your WordPress Dash > Plugins > New Plugin > Search "Easy Username Updater" > Find the Plugin developed by Yogesh C. Pant > Install Now > Activate

3. Type the New Username in the box provided. Check the box below if you want to receive an email about the updated username
4. Click Update Username button
