  I have followed the steps to change my user name but it won’t let me type another one in the field. Is my user name public?

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

  Your user name is not public, but your Public Display Name is.

  Could you clarify at which step in the change user name process is it not letting you type the new user name: https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  Thanks for getting in touch so quickly. I actually resolved it myself. It turned out to be a simple oversight on my part. The account hadn’t finished activating so that’s why I couldn’t change my username.
