The other plugins for changing usernames do not scale all that well for sites with a large number of users.<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin takes a different approach by simply enhancing the default \"edit user\" page and then processing the username change over AJAX, resulting in a much faster and user-friendly experience.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Requirements<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>PHP version 7.2 or higher<\/li>\n<li>WordPress version 4.1 or higher<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>About the author<\/h3>\n\n<p>Danny van Kooten has been developing plugins for WordPress since version 3.0, all the way back in 2010.
