Nice plugin – I just want to thank you for writing it and making it available first and foremost. I do also want to offer what might hopefully be a helpful bug report(possibly pilot error).

I am using your username changer along with a plugin called “Role manager.”

I have set it up so that users must have at least “subscriber” level to change username – so basically anyone should be able to do it. Contributors can do it, but I have a lever through role manager called “student author” that’s higher in number than both subscribers and contributors, but student authors do not have access to the name changer.

The wierd thing is, “change username” shows up in the capability manager for that user level in the role manager.

Here’s a link to role manager’s site just in case: http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/

Thank you, and great plugin!

I downloaded your plugin today. I have about 70 users which usernames I have to change.
The problem is, I can’t change their usernames except for my own?

I’m in dire need of a solution to help me change their usernames.

Any help?

The plugin works perfect for me but I have one question.
It seems that a username can only be changed once.
Is there any way I can go backward or reset the system to change it a second time.
I did not use it at all, no comment nothing but change my mind on the definite username…

THANK YOU for your help !

Thanks for your remark, I will fix this typo.

I just installed your plugin and it works perfectly with latest WP 2.8.5 but I discovered something which might get users a bit confused.

When the plugin is displayed it shows the following text :
This plugin lets you change user’s login username, especially useful if you need to change your admin username.
AND LINK TO : http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=wpvn_username_changer

But if you click on this link, you get a white screen with the following text :
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
which is wrong as I’m logged as admin.

In fact it’s because the link is wrong. It should be this one :
http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=wpvn-username-changer

Please notice carefully that the correct URL (look page=) has dashes NOT underscores.
This small mistake might make users confused.

I myself look for a while where to change the username as I was misleaded by this error screen.

Hope this helps ! and THANK YOU again for your plugin !!!

like this

The entered username is used by another user, please choose a different one!

So if I were to try to change my username to “admin”, what would your plugin do?

There cannot be a duplication of username in WordPress, except if you manually modify your database.

Does your plugin check if a duplicate username exists?

Thank you for reporting.

Have a nice day!
