    Is there a way to change the user’s profile url? The username is not editable on the front end, is there a way in the backend that wont cause other problems?

    The user had a typo in their username and they want to have the URL corrected. They already have 2 listings. If I can’t change the username (profile url) can I at least have them create a new user account and then change the “owner” (author) under edit listing?

    Nevermind, I think I figured it out. I changed it directly in the table via PHP Admin. Is that ok to do?

    Hi,

    It’s ok to change the username from the table or he can register again and you can assign him as an author of his listings. WordPress doesn’t allow changing usernames. So it can be done using code or direct DB change.

    Regards,
