Does what it should do

I used the gif file on the screenshots section of the main plugin page for help. That's all. I changed the admin-name. All posts are automatically assigned to the new user. Everything else, like e-mail address, password stays the same.

Works perfect

This plugin saved me the whole process of going to PHPmyadmin to make these username changes.

100% Does The Job

Does exactly what it promises and solves a problem every WordPress admin has to deal with. Thank you!

Fantastic! No need to edit the database directly

Rien de plus facile

et fonctionne avec wordpress 5.4.1 C'est génial, MERCI pour "Username Changer"

2020 Remember to change under “users” and use 2 factor auth

ljlavalle 24 2432 April 2432 000000 2020
After zillions of unauthorized login attempts, this REALLY helped me change my user name easily. Just remember to check under "users" in your wordpress menu after you install AND activate the plugin. You cannot change user in the "username changer" page. (at least I couldn't.) The sucky part about this situation is that anyone can see your user name via an author query after your domain, which cleary showed my new user name. I recommend reading up on how to keep that hidden, or install a plugin with 2 factor authentication or something with captcha.
