  My friend changed the username of the blog without my consent. I tried to get back to my old user name and I can not. Is that permanent?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Once a WordPress.com username is changed it’s not possible to change it back and the old username will not be available for you or anyone else to use. This is the way our systems are designed and there’s nothing we can do about it. You can read more here:

  Quoting from https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  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.

  So sorry that your username was changed. This is irreversible.
