Easy Username Updater

Randomly came across this plugin and needed to update some usernames, my goodness, it worked perfectly.

It does what it says, easily


This plugin forces notifications from donotreply@site.com. This tripped security measures on a site I'm working on. 



The issue has been mentioned over three years ago yet still exist. I do not recommend this plugin.


unresolved wp_mail From bug for at least 3 years


Congrats on your fantastic plugin!



It would be great to have an option to change the slug along with the username. Also, a hint about purging object cache (e.g., for LiteSpeed users) would be helpful.



Thanks!
