This is a great addition to WordPress but I’m also trying to user this on multisite and it doesn’t appear to allow users to change their usernames. Any progress with WPMU?

[...] Renommer le compte admin : par défaut, lors de l’installation de WordPress le login de l’administrateur est «admin». Pour une attaque de type force brute, l’attaquant connait déjà la 1ère partie du couple login / mot de passe: pourquoi ne pas lui compliquer la tâche en renommant ce fameux compte admin. On peut le faire pas SQL en allant dans la base de données, mais il existe une solution bien plus simple (et moins risquée): le plugin WPVN – Username Changer [...]

Great plugin!! Can I use it on multisite mode yet? I really need this for multisite… Thank you.

You are using WPMU or just simple WP without the multi-site option activated?

Hi, I’ve not yet worked with the WPMU 3.0, this plugin works properly with the normal WP 3.0

I’ve got it working at my site on the latest version of WordPress. I was skeptical about it at first, but this thing works like a charm, especially since the other plugins I found only provide a means to change the admin usernames. This thing not only allows for changing regular usernames, you can specify which level of users can change their name. Excellent job.

Same problem. I run WP 3.0.
This plug looks very promising. Having ‘Admin’ as admin login is not a good idea. It’s like doing half the job for the hackers.
Thank you!

I had the same problem (I’m using WPMU 3.0). The thing is that after you change your username you don’t have administration rights anymore. Thankfully, I had a second admin account, so I just logged in using the second account and gave admin rights to my primary account.

There should be a way to do this by modifying the MySQL database as well…

Which version of WP are you using, if it’s 3.0, I will check the compatibility next weekend

Hi CA RO,

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!

Mark

Hi!
Your plugin is really great!
By the way can we override the username a second time?
Thank you !

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?

Regards
Reinhardt

Hello Caro,

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 !

Hello Jamy,

Thanks for your remark, I will fix this typo.

By: Jamy

Hello Caro,

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 !!!

by chance, I found this interesting discussion. Where can I get your plug in?

By: CA RO

CA RO — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:39:41 +0000

Ok, now I got you. If you change ‘admin’ to an existing username, the plugin will notify you that there is a user with that name already.

like this

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

By: Ray

Ray — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:21:19 +0000

Hi Ca Ro,

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

By: CA RO

CA RO — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:23:39 +0000

Hi,

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

By: Ray

Ray — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:52:16 +0000

Hi,

Does your plugin check if a duplicate username exists?

Hi, Sorry about this, this is a compatibility for 2.7+, I forgot to check it with older version.
I’ll make a change in 5 mins to fix this.

Thank you for reporting.

Have a nice day!

I’m getting the following eror when trying to change a username:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function _x() in ….plugins/wpvn-username-changer/wpvn-username-changer.php on line 107

It works fine on my personal website, but when I try to install it on my work website, I get the above error message

By: CA RO

CA RO — Fri, 15 May 2009 11:57:26 +0000

No idea, I tested on 2.3 through 2.7 (major releases) and things work fine
I don’t see how this plugin could blank out front-end and back-end :-s

By: Ahmet Celik

Ahmet Celik — Tue, 12 May 2009 16:48:25 +0000

I can’t give any meaning that, so I have deleted in ftp in the plugins file. And my site is working very well right now. I use 2.7.1 actually, and also I have set up the plugin wtih wp-admin dashboard. Do you have any idea what can cause this problem??

By: CA RO

CA RO — Mon, 11 May 2009 23:33:07 +0000

It’s really weird, I tested on 2.3 to 2.8-beta, and everything seems to be ok with me. You can rename the folder wpvn-username-changer to wpvn-username-changer.bak to disable this plugin
You can try to run it alone, without any other plugins, but I don’t think this would help.

This site has it enabled as well

I tried to install your plug-in through the installer. It installed, but when I tried to activate it or go anywhere in my dashboard I got an Error. I ended up having to go delete the plug in files via my FTP program. Any idea why this would happen?
