Username Changer

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

Super Easy!


For security reason, I decided to change my admin username. I know how to do directly in WP but I decided to try this plugin. It takes five seconds to do the job. Very handy.


Works perfectly

Unlock the power to change WordPress usernames with complete security and data integrity.
