Great plugin — does what it supposed to. Had a small problem but fixed quickly by
support / plugin creator.

Can’t say enough good things about this plugin, and the people behind it. There’s
no fluff, the plugin does exactly what it’s supposed to in a straightforward way.
The really amazing part is I had another plugin on my site that was also using the
User IDs, and it was clashing with the User ID changer, but the author immediately
found a fix for the issue!

Excellent plugin – simple and straightforward and the only one I could find that
allowed me complete a mass User id update for an urgent project. Support is outstanding!
I asked for two minor changes to assist with my particular project. Code changes
were supplied within hours. Highly recommended.

WordPress is not safe, and it will NEVER be 100% safe, unless the site admins take
some steps, this plugin takes care of one of those important steps. – We all know
that hackers try to attack the useername “admin”. But they can also attack the user
ID, which the admin account in most cases would be 1, and in some cases 2, 3, etc…(
lower numbers). This plugin takes care of that, and it works perfectly. – The second
thing that WordPress fails is the fact that it allows the actual usernames to be
displayed in public. Thus, if an admin. writes a post, and does not change how his
public username will be displayed on the front by his profile page, then everybody
will know the admins usernames, thus making this plugin useless, mainly because 
if the admins pure stupidity. WordPress has to fix this, where the actual usernames
are not shown on the front, as many admins are lazy, uninformed, stupid, or all 
3!!! GREAT PLUGIN !!! I will be using this with every site that I have.

This plugin save so much time, also if your not familiar with mySQL, it’s saves 
you so much time. Works very well with standalone WordPress.
