The Allow Username Edit plugin provides a secure and user-friendly way for WordPress administrators to edit user usernames. By default, WordPress prevents username changes to maintain data integrity. This plugin overrides that limitation but adds a crucial safety feature: an activation checkbox.
The username field is read-only by default, protecting it from accidental edits. To make a change, an administrator must explicitly check the 「Activate username editing」 box. This two-step process ensures that every username change is intentional.
Key Features:
* Safe Username Editing: Prevents accidental edits by requiring an activation checkbox to be checked.
* User-Friendly Interface: Integrates seamlessly into the WordPress user profile and user edit screens.
* Dynamic Help Text: The description below the username field updates dynamically to inform the admin whether editing is enabled or protected.
* Settings Page: Includes a dedicated settings page under 「Settings > Username Edit」 with plugin information, usage instructions, and a link to support future development.
* Secure and Compliant: Follows WordPress best practices, including the use of nonces, proper permission checks, and a consistent text domain for internationalization.
This plugin is ideal for site managers who need the flexibility to correct username typos or update usernames upon user request, without compromising on safety.
