  I mistakenly used another term for my WordPress Admin username. Please how can I change my WordPress Admin username? I need an assistance on this. Please help!

  The site I need help with is [visible only to staff] (email visible only to moderators and staff). It is not hosted by WordPress.com, but it is connected with Jetpack.

  Hi there!

  Thank you for contacting WordPress.com.

  There are some methods to change your WordPress Admin username. To properly change your WordPress admin username, you check out this article -> https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-change-your-wordpress-username/

  Let me know if that helps.

  Thank you @teofilushl!

  I found some help using the guide! It really helped.

  But I also noticed that WordPress does not send out email to my new users when I add them (Even when I checked that box that say “send this user email about their account”.

  Please can I resolve this?

  Hi there,

  I see that your site is using the open-source WordPress software and therefore you need to seek help at these forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  These forums are for providing support to WordPress.com hosted sites only. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the WordPress software you can read this document:
