Is it possible to change the admin username from the one on first install?
Create another admin account. Log in as the second admin and change the first admin's name.
Thank you for that, so simple really I never thought of it. ;D
Case closed ;)
While were on the subject, if the admin owns images, what happens to the ownership? Do the images get associated with the new name?
No , You need to manually change the owner name under xxx_pictures table
If i may ask, in the xxx_pictures table, what command would i need to enter to replace automatically Username1 by Username2?
I got about 70 pages of xxx_picture table, and I'd love to be able to automate this.
Sorry to be digging such an old topic, I did try replacing manually in a text editor Username1 by Username2 and uploading the modified file, but to no success.
something like this
UPDATE `xxx_pictures` SET owner_name = 'Username2' where owner_name='Username1'
Always take a backup
Many many thanks, it worked like a charm.
I unfortunately have to clean up my online record as I'm prospecting for a job, and am likely to get googled... Some photos just shouldn't make it to my new boss's eye!
