  1) For some reason my account is in euros (if i want to buy a domain, as an example), but I live in the US. Is it possible to change my account to be in USD?
  2) For some reason it won’t let me edit my username. Why is this? When I search how to change the username, the instructions imply there is some option, but I do not see it when I go to ‘account settings.’

  Thanks

  Andrew

  I have changed your account’s currency as requested.

  I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to change your username though.

  Would you please try one more time? https://wordpress.com/support/change-your-username/

  I followed those instructions. When I go to to “account setting” the username box is a light grey rectangle with dark grey text that cannot be clicked. This is in contrast to the box below it, for email, which is white and I can click the letters and then edit what it is in the box.

  You’re unable to change the username because your account hasn’t been verified yet.

  When you created your account, we sent you a verification email with a link you have to click to activate your account. If you didn’t receive that, you should be able to resend it from the account settings page.

  Let us know if you don’t see the option to resend that.

  Thanks for the clarification.

  I cannot find a verification email in my email. I also do not see anything on the account settings page to resend the link.
