## Àpèjúwe

The Username plugin helps to change username of admin, without effecting other userÌtumọ̀
Yorùbá: ’s username. First it will check if same username is exist or not. if same
username is not exist, then only it will update existing userÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s username.
Every administrator can change only his/her username from admin panel.

After activation there is a sub menu in Settings called Username. Click on this 
and there is an option to change Username. Insert your new username and then in 
settings there is an option **Click to check username is exist or not** Click and
check user is exist or not. If username already exist then it will alert you as **
Username In Use!** in red color, else it will alert you **Username Not In Use!**
in green color. If username is not exist and user click on submit then it will update
username and it will redirect to login page. Now login with new username.

Note Password remains same. It is completely safe.
 If you are not redirect to login
page that means Username is not changed.

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 3.5.1 or greater
 * PHP 5.2.6 or greater (5.3 recommended)
 * MySQL 4.1.2 or greater (5.x recommended)

This is my go-to change username plugin for all wordpress sites. Often clients and
friends set up WordPress before they know how they want it to look or feel. They
choose usernames based on habit or screen name. For minor security (through obscurity)
reasons I do not want admins, editors and authors logging in with their published
screen name. Every WP blog has bots trying to brute force the login page. This along
with "Edit Author Slug" plugin allows me to hide that information from search engines
and bad guys. Note the username you want to change must be an admin for this plugin
to work. I upgrade Editors, Authors and Subscribers to Admins, login as them an 
then change the username and downgrade back to previous role. This also lets me 
check the password is not too easy.

I installed this plugin while I was tinkering around on a new site that I am building
for my in-laws. I hadn't even gotten around to using it yet (to fix their main username
login) when I went to fix a Customization within for the theme. When I entered the
Customize page, Customize screen went completely dead causing a loading loop. After
hours on wordpress.org trying to find out how that happened, several suggestions
said to disable all plugins to see if it starts working again. I disabled all plugins
and like magic, the customize screen stopped loading and the page finally popped
up! Then, as suggested, I reactivated each plugin one by one testing the customize
screen each time to find out which plugin cause the error…. and this was it. This
plugin is somehow linked to the PHP page which controls the customize screen and
causes it to not load. I wasn't even able to use the plugin before having to remove
it.
