<h3>Why You Need This Plugin</h3>
<p>WordPress locks usernames by default — but mistakes happen, conventions change, and security sometimes requires a reset. Username Changer lets you update any username instantly, directly from the user profile page, with zero data loss.</p>
<ul>
<li>Fix registration typos in seconds</li>
<li>Standardize usernames across your organization</li>
<li>Update compromised or generic usernames like “admin”</li>
<li>Resolve username conflicts when merging or migrating sites</li>
</ul>
<p>Trusted solution since 2011 with continuous updates and improvements.</p>
<h3>Who Is It For?</h3>
<p><strong>WordPress Agencies</strong><br />
Standardize client usernames across multiple sites, fix migration errors, and maintain professional naming conventions at scale.</p>
<p><strong>Security-Conscious Site Owners</strong><br />
Quickly update usernames if security concerns arise. Rotating away from “admin” is one of the easiest hardening steps you can take.</p>
<p><strong>Community & Membership Sites</strong><br />
Allow members to update their own usernames, resolve disputes, and keep directories clean and consistent.</p>
<p><strong>Content Sites with Multiple Authors</strong><br />
Works seamlessly with Co-Authors Plus and other author plugins. Update usernames without breaking content associations.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<p>✓ One-click username updates directly from user profiles<br />
✓ Zero data loss — all posts, metadata, and associations stay intact<br />
✓ Email notifications when usernames are changed<br />
✓ Nickname support for additional flexibility<br />
✓ Proper username sanitization to prevent security issues<br />
✓ SQL-optimized for performance<br />
✓ Multisite compatible<br />
✓ Works with any WordPress theme</p>
<h3>Admin Settings Page</h3>
<p>The plugin adds a settings page under <strong>Users <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Username Changer</strong> with the following tabs:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Settings</strong> — Configure username rules, email notifications, and message strings</li>
<li><strong>Help</strong> — Access the live demo and product walkthrough</li>
<li><strong>⭐ Go Pro</strong> — Unlock bulk username management and audit tools</li>

<li><strong>Audit Log</strong> — Full history of every username change with timestamps and IP addresses, exportable as CSV</li>
<li><strong>License Management</strong> — Per-site license activation with automatic background verification</li>
</ul>
<h3>Simple Setup</h3>

<li>Change the username instantly</li>
