## Descripción

Please help by contributing to the GitHub repository [Edit Usernames on GitHub](https://github.com/Miller-Media/edit-usernames)

The Edit Usernames plugin allows WordPress admins and WooCommerce managers to edit
the users’ usernames through the admin dashboard. All references to previous username
are changed after editing, including comment author.

Note: Editing of your own username and those of Super Admins are currently disallowed.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### How do I edit a username?

Go to Users in the WordPress admin, click on the user you want to edit, and you 
will see the username field is editable. Change it and click “Update User”.

### Can I edit my own username?

No. For security reasons, you cannot edit your own username. Another administrator
must make the change for you.

### Can I edit a Super Admin’s username?

By default, editing Super Admin usernames is disallowed. However, there is a setting
under Settings > General to enable editing of admin usernames if needed.

### Will editing a username break anything?

No. The plugin updates all references to the previous username, including comment
author names. The user’s posts, pages, and other content remain intact.

### What languages are supported?

The plugin is available in 30 languages with more being added regularly. We are 
working toward supporting 50 languages total!

### 󠀁[Simple, solid plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-solid-plugin/)󠁿

We have been using this plugin internally to perform a simple function that should
be built into WordPress by default. Good stuff!
