# Edit / Manage WordPress.org Profile

 * My WordPress.org profile page is [http://profiles.wordpress.org/sociactive](http://profiles.wordpress.org/sociactive).
   When I set up the profile, I had assumed it would be somewhat private – i.e. 
   only viewable to logged-in users of WordPress.org.
 * At this time a web search for “Sociactive” brings up the profile page on WordPress.
   org. This is confusing for my clients. I don’t want my web-monkeying confused
   with my Sales & Marketing consultancy.
 * I logged in and changed the name for my profile, but I need to change the URL.
   Can an admin help? Also, I would like to request the ability to manage the URL,
   as well as the level of publicity of the WordPress.org profile.
 * Thank you.

 * You can’t change your username. Have you thought about discontinuing your account
   and just creating another?

 * Just stop using it. No one, including moderators, can delete accounts. Sorry –
   a technical limitation.
