how to change wordpress handle/ username?
-
I am able to change my nickname but not username. I have recently registered and cannot change the username since the text field under account settings is gray and will not allow me to edit my username. Help please!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can change both your WordPress.com account username (the name you use to login) and your display name (the name that is seen on your posts and comments).
Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use. If you just want to show your name differently please only change your Display Name.Please check this out this article that will guide you step-by-step in this process: https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

I can’t change the username, because that text field with the username is grey. It won’t let me change. I have read the article that you referenced.
