## Descripción

Profile Lab gives you a simple, secure way to modify WordPress usernames and display
names without touching the database or writing custom code.
 By default, WordPress
does not allow usernames to be changed, causing problems for membership sites, client
dashboards, and community platforms. This plugin fixes that limitation.

With User Profile Customizer, you can:

 * Let users safely update their username
 * Allow frontend editing of display names
 * Integrate updates into external or custom forms
 * Improve user experience by giving users control over their profile
 * Reduce administrator workload and manual edits

Perfect for:

 * Membership websites
 * Online communities and forums
 * Client portals
 * eCommerce users
 * Agencies and custom dashboards

Any website where users maintain their own profiles
