THANK YOU!!! Using this plugin with ProfileGrid and could not change user names — even from phpMyAdmin. This plugin does the job AND offers to send an email to the user and admin about the change. Awesome! Please update this plugin for security with the latest version of Wordpress. Thank you again!

Good
