Changing WordPress username

Have you ever checked your WordPress profile and noticed you can’t change your username?

Youtube embedded videos in WordPress not working

You’ll notice above that there is a youtube URL on the first line… it hasn’t embedded within the post. UPDATE 2015-12-10: it’s working now, is it a WordPress 4.4 thing? I have disabled a LOT of plugins for the moment, I’ll come back and revisit this in the next couple of days. I have spent …

How to STOP the Incessantly Annoying Picasa Web Album Notifications!
