# Member Usernames

 * I’m switching from a wordpress directory to another. The original directory had
   a connector in which sync’d with the wordpress users but unfortunately for the
   username it created its own ID number.
 * Using phpmyadmin I’m able to change the outgoing directory’s ID number and replace
   with first initial and last name of user(s).
 * But under ‘Account’s, the page from UM, it is still showing the outgoing directory’s
   ID number even though I logged in with my new username.
 * How can I refresh UM to show the updated wordpress username?

 * Hi [@mtporter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtporter/)
 * Please try clearing the UM User cache. Go to WP Admin > Ultimate Member > Dashboard
   > User Cache.

 * Wished I could have seen sooner but no worries. I used a plugin called login 
   as user and updated the ones needing updating from the frontend by going into
   the account page and selecting ‘Update’

 * Resolved. Now that I know where to delete cache, I can now remove the login as
