 * Howdy,
 * Hope you are all well over there.
 * We are thinking of renaming one of our plugins to better reflect what it does.
 * Should we just rename it and leave it where it is or should we resubmit to the
   repo?
 * Thanks,
 * Bob

 * You can change the name (title) of the plugin no problem, but it has to keep 
   its slug.
 * If you also want to change the slug, then you need to contact [plugins@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/renaming-a-plugin/plugins@wordpress.org?output_format=md)
