Change Username adds that option directly to the existing user edit screen, without a separate settings page. Use it to update a WordPress username while keeping the same user ID, posts, comments, and profile data attached to the account. ### Features * Change any WordPress username from the existing user edit screen. * Prevent username conflicts by checking whether the new username already exists. * Block usernames that are listed as illegal logins. * Follow the same username validation rules as WordPress core. * Retain superadmin rights when changing the username of a Multisite super admin. ### Requirements * PHP version 7.4 or higher * WordPress version 6.0 or higher ### About the plugin author [Danny van Kooten](https://www.dannyvankooten.com/) has been building WordPress plugins since 2010, starting with WordPress 3.0. He is the founder of [ibericode](https://www.ibericode.com/), the small software company behind popular WordPress plugins including [Mailchimp for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/) and [Koko Analytics](https://wordpress.org/plugins/koko-analytics/). ## 스크린샷 [⌊Change a WordPress username from the default user edit screen.⌉⌊Change a WordPress username from the default user edit screen.⌉[ Change a WordPress username from the default user edit screen. ## 설치 #### Installing the plugin 1. In your WordPress admin panel, go to _Plugins > New Plugin_, search for **Change Username** and click “_Install now_“ 2. Alternatively, download the plugin and upload the contents of `change-username. zip` to your plugins directory, which usually is `/wp-content/plugins/`. 3. Activate the plugin 4. Go to _Users_, edit a user, and change the username from the existing user edit screen. ## FAQ ### Where do I change a WordPress username after activation? Go to _Users_, open the user you want to edit, and use the username control on the existing user edit screen. ### Can I change an administrator username? Yes. Any user with the `edit_users` capability can change usernames, including administrator usernames. ### Can users change their own username? Not right now. Only administrators with the `edit_users` capability can change usernames. ### Does changing a username affect user IDs or posts? No. The plugin changes the user’s login name, but it does not change the user ID. Existing posts, pages, comments, and user metadata stay assigned to the same user account. ### Does this work on WordPress Multisite? Yes. When changing the username of a Multisite super admin, the plugin keeps that user in the super admin list. ### I’ve activated the plugin but nothing happens. Please check if your server is running PHP version 7.4 or higher. The plugin will not do anything if you’re on an older version of PHP. ## 후기 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/64b51769e7b80312023eb6c3f766cb512cf79adf7265812b15442f9573a9a056? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-great-236/)󠁿 [Anh Tran](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rilwis/) 2026년 6월 20일 This plugin is simple, lightweight and does one thing and it does very well. Nothing fancy, bloated or unneeded. I use it on all the sites whenever I need to change username. Thank you very much for creating this plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cc672217b1e53ff6449684a15b54eed0b2c6cbf3e0e88fb46a05fc6075900cda? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-9830/)󠁿 [Daan van den Bergh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/daanvandenbergh/) 2026년 6월 19일 I’ve been using this plugin for years, not knowing that the one and only Danny van Kooten was behind it. Now I do, so it was about time to place this well-deserved 5 star review.

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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/51293c0f7d763ec284691404d3cc8e7a85e307be2aace073beabe08fbcb05848? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It still works well but hasn’t been updated in a long time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-still-works-well-but-hasnt-been-updated-in-a-long-time/)󠁿 [default-design](https://profiles.wordpress.org/default-design/) 2023년 8월 29일 It still works well but it hasn’t been updated in a long time, so I recommend another one: WP Edit Username ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a39c88f45e860606c79031536a73447e6d3df766c5554d68763b91cb3fb7eaf8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[this did nothing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-did-nothing/)󠁿 [ofihsdfoi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ofihsdfoi/) 2023년 1월 3일 I typed in the new username, but nothing happened.
