    Hello Admin,

    I want to know the reason that why wordpress have disabled the option to change the username. Even after login from admin we are not able to change the username.

    Your plugin is working fine. But I just want to know the fact. Because as per my personal views this plugin may affect the default functionality of blocked users.

    Thanks in advance..!!

    Hi Sunil.ch,

    I am agree with esmi Theme Diva & Forum Moderator.

    Username is unique for every user in wordpress.

    Although you can do some things like bellow to change Username.

    a. WordPress gives option to set your favorite name as username while running setup files in wordpress installation.

    b. You can also create a new user with administrator role and provide favorite username and then delete old admin user.

    c. If you want to change existing user’s username then you can also change it from database. That’s exactly my plugin do.

    Sunil, One more thing I want to clear plugins are made to enhance functionality of wordpress, not for block any function or User. Please change your view or opinion that standard plugins never destroy any thing.

    If you are asking about to change Username in profile page, then may be WordPress core developer can give the best answer about this.
