WordPress. How to change your WordPress username<\/a><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Go to your WordPress admin panel. Here, for example, you need to change username admin10<\/strong> to master<\/strong>. You can click it and see that it is not possible to change it:<\/p>\r\n

    \"how_to_change_username_in<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    So, you need to create a new user with the name master, then you will remove the old one and assign all attributes to the new one.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    Let’s create a new user master<\/strong>. Click Add new<\/strong> user button in your Dashboard. Fill in all the required fields. Pay attention that the role of this new user should be administrator:<\/p>\r\n

    \"how_to_change_username_in<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  4. \r\n

    Click Save<\/strong> button. Check the new user in your list of users.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  5. \r\n

    Now remove the old one admin10. You will need to check “attribute all content to” and select your new user master:<\/p>\r\n

    \"how_to_change_username_in<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  6. \r\n

    As you see, user master has appeared. Now it has all attributes of the former user admin10.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
