 * We have email address as our usernames in UM/WP. We’d like to allow users to 
   change their username whenever they have a change in email address. Is there 
   a way we can allow username changes either in UM or via a WP API? I’m comfortable
   in the api and UM hooks, but I’m not sure what the correct method would be to
   do this.

 * Hi [@pbarmak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbarmak/),
 * I’m afraid, WordPress doesn’t allow users to change usernames, it is also not
   possible using Ultimate member.
 * Regards.
