    If you mean your username on your WordPress installation and not on these forums then yes.

    You need to create new WordPress use on your self-hosted WordPress installation and delete your old account. You will be given a choice to assign all of your existing posts and replies on your self-hosted WordPress installation to the new account.

    BACK YO YOUR INSTALLATION FILES AND DATABASE FIRST.

    If you make a mistake then you’ll delete your posts and replies and that would be tragic.

    Did I mention this only applies to your self-hosted WordPress installation only?

    If you mean your support forum account on www.ads-software.com then no, you cannot change your username here. It is set in stone can cannot be changed or deleted here and any email address you used here can’t be re-used on a new account.

    If you do mean this site then you can edit your display name.

    But not your username.

    Hello Jan,

    Thanks for the fast reply, I mean to edit username on this site, is not possible then?

    Then is it possible to move themes that I created with username to new username?

    Thanks!

    The best place to ask that question is the #themereview channel in Slack.

    You can sign up for that Slack account using these instructions.
