Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview
About this plugin
Change WordPress usernames from the user edit screen, with validation for existing users, illegal logins, and Multisite admins.
Change Username
WordPress does not let administrators change usernames by default. Change Username adds that option directly to the existing user edit screen, without a separate settings page.
Use it to update a WordPress username while keeping the same user ID, posts, comments, and profile data attached to the account.
Features
Change any WordPress username from the existing user edit screen.
Prevent username conflicts by checking whether the new username already exists.
Block usernames that are listed as illegal logins.
Follow the same username validation rules as WordPress core.
Retain superadmin rights when changing the username of a Multisite super admin.
Requirements
PHP version 7.4 or higher
WordPress version 6.0 or higher
