  Hello there,

  Once the username is changed, it cannot be changed back and the old name will not be available to anyone.

  Thanks amiteshg93
  Does this mean my acct has been hacked and that you only get one opportunity to change once you open a wordpress acct and the name has since been changed weirdly. Or, should i ditch the acct and start again as i received a message yesterday saying someone has changed the name on my acct. I have changed my pw btw.

  Thanks again

  If someone was able to change your account name, it means they have full access to your wordpress.com account and your email address.
  Are you sure you don’t have more than 1 wordpress.com account?

  Hi @bobbyempire

  I do not see any sites under your @bobbyempire WordPress.com account when I check on our end. You can confirm by visiting this page: https://wordpress.com/sites.

  Is it possible you created your site under a different login instead? What is the URL of the site you are needing help with?

  Happy to check in our system so we can take a closer look.
