Blocked access to wp-admin

By savingyourtail on February 22, 2025

This plugin completely blocked access to wp-admin after changing a username. The wp-admin login page now just goes to a blank white page. I had to restore a backup on my site in order to fix it. I think I read the plugin hasn't been updated in 5 years so I guess something has broken. Do not recommend.

Worked great

By mlipenk on November 15, 2024

I recently set up OpenID on one of my Wordpress sites, and needed to update the usernames to a different ID to coincide with single sign-on authentication. Installed this plugin, and it worked, without issue. I'm leery of any plugin that hasn't been updated for the latest version of Wordpress. I'm also leery of any plugin that hasn't had any updates for four years. So I installed, used, and then deactivated and deleted. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Excellent Work! Great plugin, super simple and easy. Surprised this is not in the WP Core...

Easy to change username

By romanivanov on March 18, 2021

I like how easy it changes username. Will be great if I could change user_nicename fields as well. Had to use another plugin for this: https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/edit-author-slug/ It's too complex, I only want to type manual value, without having to study complex settings page.

Does what it should do

By dotch on November 15, 2020

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

By mcwebdigital on August 4, 2020

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

100% Does The Job

By cleggerama on June 3, 2020
