Whenever we custom install the word press blog software by downloading it from wordpress.org, then the username by default is admin. From the dashboard we cannot change it. So what happens is many blogs have the blog’s author as admin. This is quite a problem. It can be changed by going to the phpMyAdmin interface.
But there is very simple and unique way to change it from the dashboard itself. There is a plug-in. The plug-in needs to be uploaded just like any other plug-in to the plug-in folder in the blog. After activating the plug-in there is a separate option to change the username in the user dashboard. So first you have to upload the plug-in, then activate it, then go to the user option on the top right corner of the dashboard . Then the user option click the username change option. There you can change your username. Then update changes. In the author name box there is a drop-down menu. Click it. You can now change your author name from admin to the new username.
Now you can visit your site and see for yourself that the user names and the author names have changed to your new username. You can now deactivate the plug-in. You can also delete the plug-in from the plug-in folder.
The plug-in changes entries in the database for you without you going into the database itself. So I think it is a very good addition to your list of important plug-ins.
