   Thank you so much for this post! The ‘add new user’ then ‘delete old user’ & ‘attribute to new user’ worked for me.
   And I now have the plugin which also works.

   FYI – when I changed the email address after adding new user, it took aaages for the confirmation email to come through to my Gmail from WordPress.

   That was really helpful. I was searching for the solution and some websites suggest to install a plugin, which is not the best solution for me,
   because that would make my site slower.
   Since I am familiar with PHP, so it would be better to use PHPMyAdmin in Cpanel.
   And that’s what I did with the help of this article.

    Appreciate the info given here. I was able to use PhpMyadmin to change the user name. But on logging in to my WordPress site, the info on my dashboard is so limited. The new username that was there before i deleted the wrong one with Admin role had Author’s role. Could this be why I am not granted full access to my editing dashboard where I could add more users and edit normally?

      You can simple do this without the plugin. You have to create a user, and for that you have to click on Add New button in the Users section, input the username whatever you want to and then assign the role of it to Administrator then log out. Now log in using newly created username and go into the same section that is Users and now can simply delete the old admin user.

    Hi
    I can’t get this to work, I have tried other tutorials and they say just the same.

    I am in the right database as there is only one and I have edited the old admin username that was originally set up i.e. admin and it won’t allow me to login.

    In the database it has clearly changed but when I try to login it won’t allow me. So using the old admin username gets me back in but how? it has been changed it doesn’t exist anymore….

    If I view the Users in WordPress my new username is not there so where is it getting these details from?

    I am truly baffled.

      You may want to try changing the password to your admin user within wordpress. It would be good to have another temp Admin level user in WP as a backup.

      If you’re using phpmyadmin, open the password field, choose a new password and IMPORTANT! choose the MD5 function (or this will NOT work).

      Once you change the password, try logging in to your old username account. Try doing this in Incognito mode in Chrome so you have NO cookies set. It shouldn’t let you login. If it IS still logging in, double check you’re in the right DB. I know you said you were, but check the wp-config.php file anyhow.

      Extra hint. If you don’t want to setup another email address, and you use Gmail, you can add a + to the end of a gmail address and it will go to the same mailbox: e.g.

      Hi
      Thanks for the reply Gary, I ended up deleting everything on that domain name as it had other WordPress installations so somewhere it went wrong.

      Once I did this the information in the tutorial worked but it was so frustrating why it didn’t.

      Good job I only used that domain name for testing websites.

    Hi, My site is still under construction, when I was setting it up I followed the steps I had printed out instead of listening to the audio too. I only realised afterwards that I shouldn’t have used my real email address as the username as this will be visible once I start posting. Which method above would you recommend I follow to make the necessary change as I haven’t yet got any content to worry about losing?
    The other thing I keep getting really confused about is when I am asked for my email address do they mean my real one or the one that is part of website that I would like to handle?

    Thanks

      Sarah you can add as many users account to your WordPress site as you want. Simply go to the Users page in admin area and then click on add new. You can add users with different roles like administrator (site owner), editor, author, etc. If you are the only one using your site, then a user with administrator role is all you need. After you have created a user name that you like, feel free to delete the old one that you do not wish to use anymore.

      The email address they ask will be used to send you notification emails. It has to be any existing email address that you already use.

      WordPress itself is not an email client and it will not create an email address as part of your website. If you want to have a branded email address with your own domain name like sarah@example.com, then see our guide on how to setup a professional email address with Google Apps and Gmail

    But then in the end it worked. Probably because I saved the profile from wp-admin after having changed the user_login and the user_nicename values from phpMyAdmin?

    Too many places to reply so I’ll create a new comment.

    I’m one of those people that don’t like to just add another plugin (even if I can remove it afterwards) and so even after reading about the create new user/delete user/migrate posts method, I liked the phpmyadmin method.

    But it does cripple multisite installs and you really should update the main post about that.

    For anyone who does do it the database way, you have to go into your sitemeta table and update the superadmin user with the new username and character count in the S:flag.

    Otherwise, the create/delete/migrate method might actually be a better option

      Here is the way I did it – very quick and easy, took me less than 5 minutes to do:
      1. Go to users
      2. Click on the user name you want to change
      3. Above the “Update Profile” button, there will be text that reads “Were you looking for your API Key and other Personal Settings”. The ‘API Key and other Personal Settings’ text will be highlighted (as it is a link).
      4. Click on this highlighted text.
      5. Scrolls down the page to the heading “Account Details”
      6. Just under “Account Details” will be ‘User Name’
      7. You will see next to your user name there will be the word ‘Change’ in brackets, also in highlighted text (indicating it is a link).
      8. Click on this text to change your user name.
      9. Don’t forget to save
      10. You can change all other linked settings from here, such as BLOG NAME, PRIMARY BLOG, etc,

    A word to the wise, from someone who wasn’t. Using that plugin can be fatal to a multisite setup. Multisite does not allow the user name of the superadmin to be changed. And there is no warning about this on the plugin site. But because the plugin just twiddles with the name fields of the database it gaily ignores this. So if you use it, be prepared to lose all access to the network. This might not happen if the name you change it to happens to have the same number of characters as the name you are changing from. I am not about to prove this point though, once bitten and all that. The remedy is then only direct editing of the database to restore precisely, and I do mean precisely including cap and lower case usage, what was there before.

      Hi,

      i successfully changed username on the multisite installation.

      I have changed username directly in sql database.

      First of all backup your db.

      You have to change username in tables:
      _users in fields: user_login and user_nicename
      _usermetadata field nickname and
      _sitemeta field site_admins

      in the field site_admins be careful to change the name admin and number of letters before admin in variable s:5
      admin username has 5 letters, change it to number of letter in your new name

      Delete cookies in browser, login again to your WP admin and you have network access with your new username

    Here is something odd that I’ve noticed today.

    I did not like it that my (admin) username was visible in the author URL. So I decided to create a new user with author role and since I’ve made this new user the author URLs are the same as the screennames.

    So now I can use my admin account again since the screenname is visible in the URLs and not my actual username.

    Any explanation for this?

      WordPress uses the username in the Author URLs. If the admin user still has posts then their author URL will still appear on those posts. You can assign those posts to new author account you created and set a redirect for the admin url.

    This change may or may not be a big problem for a given wordpress site based on the plugins and theme it is using. What if there is a plugin that uses an external system that associates data with username? The simple change outlined here would fail to update that username in the external system and the association between the user and that external data would be broken with this change. What about forum posts in bbpress where a user mentions another user by username?

    I guess a basic wordpress blog install wouldn’t have too many problems with this, but beyond that you better have awareness of the other plugins and theme dependencies on username. If none, this simple change could be fine.

There’s no other option when all is leaked out. Yes security. Having a good security plugin. Securi I found too difficult to understand.
