BuddyPress Add-on Plugin

Advanced Username Manager

Members who want to update their username have to contact an admin, and admins spend time on requests that should be self-service. Advanced Username Manager lets members change their username, first name, last name, and nickname directly from the frontend, with a real-time availability check, intelligent username suggestions, and a one-click anonymous username generator. Admins keep full control through role-based permissions and format restrictions.
