I want to change my username, but when I try to change it I can't
-
Hi… I’m having almost the same problem described here.
The problem is, the blog URL is http://monicaiozzifans.wordpress.com/ but the admin account is monicaiozzifan (without the “s”)
I’m wanting to make that account with the “s” in the ending. Change it from “monicaiozzifan” to “monicaiozzifans” like the blog URL.and I have no idea what happened with the admin account there.
Anyway, thanks in advance for reading this and see ya! ;-)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Why not just go to users > my profile and change the display name to “monicaiozzifans” and then that will be what is shown on all the author information, posts and comments you make. “monicaiozzifan” without the “s” is only the username and it will only show up here in the forums. That would be the easiest way.
If you want to change your username though, look through this support document: http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/#change-username .

Hey, “thesacredpath”, nice to meet you! ;-)
Well, I already saw a lot of questions replied by you here.
I have other two blogs at WP and this is the first time that I’m having a problem.
The “display name” is changed and like I told, it says the followining “Sorry, that username already exists.” It doesn’t let me to change the username.
And the link I sent in the first topic mentions only staff can do and fix that, I’m waiting a reply of a “Happiness Engineer” :-)
See you later!

Ah, yes, the username is “reserved” for http://monicaiozzifans.wordpress.com/ (reserved for you actually) and yes, staff are the only ones that can fix that for you. This is one of those rare cases when the username cannot be changed in the normal way.

So… how many days do you think I will have to wait for a reply of someone from staff?
By the way, I visited your blog, nice the way you customized the “Inuit Types” theme there. ;-)

@monicaiozzifan
We have no idea how heavy the Staff workload is or how many support tickets there are backlogged in their queue.When you click TSP’s username you are clicking into a self-hosted WordPress.ORG install. On that install he has a paid version of the Inuit Types theme for WordPress.ORG software. It’s not the same as the version of the Inuit Types theme that we have at WordPress.COM. The two run on different software.
WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org: The Differences -
Yes… Of couse I know the differences between the .org and .com… I just wanted to say I really liked the way he configured the “Inuit Types” theme there, okay? ;-)
Regards!

Actually most bloggers who post here do not know the differences between the tow. As I also had a the paid Inuit Types theme on my self hosted install and I knew that TSP was not available I decided to post in case you did not know.

We could tow the two! LOL
Anyway… I will wait one week to get a reply from the staff but now I’m considering help the community here. I love WP. :-D
By the way, I’m a brazilian.

I contacted the support, they solved it and I’m just setting this topic to “resolved”
And I thank timethief and thesacredpath for the replies! See ya! ;-)
