  I didn’t realize when changing my username that it would also change the @XYZ part of my (purchased) email address… I’m assuming this will effect email addresses because it changed the @XYZ vizable to the left of my screen. Is there any way to revert back to my old username?

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

  Good morning,
  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but according to this help document (click here), once you change your username, it cannot be changed back.

  “The old name will be reserved and no one will have access to it.”

  I suspect the reason for this is to avoid confusion so that multiple people cannot claim the same ‘old’ username.

  I hope that helps, even if it wasn’t what you were hoping for. :) Have a wonderful day!
