I am implementing a feature on my site that will allow users to change their usernames.

What I do now:

1) update the username to the new username (fk tables are updated automatically, I noticed with a smile),
2) change the username in the session file (session id stored in cookie or url)

Is this OK, or do I have to take some more things into account? (Of course there are a few checks, like if the new username does already exist).

Thanks for any help on this.

This could cause incompatibility with some plugins, including my own.

For example: Editor monitor creates its own tables based on the usernames of editors. It does not re-check the usernames (as it does not need to currenty) unless an editor is added or removed from the system.

Hi Ian

if you have set up Editor monitor properly (), then you have the username field in your table as a foreign key to Username in the Users table. If this is the case, it will be changed automatically.
