  I accidentally changed my username and can’t change it back without being told it already exists. I want it to go back to being unanimousbenefits, if possible! It says that it’s already taken, though.

  Hi,

  I’m afraid that once you change your username, you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for anyone else to use.

  You can, however, update the Display Name in the Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page under Public Profile.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.
