From this menu you'll be able to edit your informations. Or you can do it manually as an administrator from the backend ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzgzNzI3LWNoYW5nZS11c2VybmFtZT90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Sjaak](/forum/user/1566-sjaak "View Sjaak's Profile")** - [![Sjaak's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/1566-sjaak "View Sjaak's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/1566-sjaak) Less More - Posts: 261 - Thank you received: 5 - - 13 years 4 months ago [\#109312](#109312) by [Sjaak](/forum/user/1566-sjaak "View Sjaak's Profile") Replied by *[Sjaak](/forum/user/1566-sjaak "View Sjaak's Profile")* on topic *[Change username](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/83727-change-username#109312 "One of my users wants to change his username.

My users can edit all kinds of information about themselves but they can't change their username. Is the username hardcoded or do I need to change a setting somewhere to give my users ability to change their username?

You'll have to modify joomla: [ www.orware.com/blog/tips-and-how-tos/joo...rnames-in-joomla-2-5](http://www.orware.com/blog/tips-and-how-tos/joomla-2.5-development/how-to-allow-users-to-change-their-usernames-in-joomla-2-5) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzgzNzI3LWNoYW5nZS11c2VybmFtZT90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Sjaak](/forum/user/1566-sjaak "View Sjaak's Profile")** - [![Sjaak's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/1566-sjaak "View Sjaak's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/1566-sjaak) Less More - Posts: 261 - Thank you received: 5 - - 13 years 4 months ago [\#109320](#109320) by [Sjaak](/forum/user/1566-sjaak "View Sjaak's Profile") Replied by *[Sjaak](/forum/user/1566-sjaak "View Sjaak's Profile")* on topic *[Change username](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/83727-change-username#109320 "One of my users wants to change his username.

When I go to my menu manager to edit the 'Edit your account'-menu item then I get this information about the menu item: Menu item: 'Edit your account' ....... Menu item type: HikaShop > Rigstration form This is the link this menu item uses: index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=user&layout=cpanel Isn't that HikaShop? Where am I going wrong?

But it does not mean that HikaShop manages the Joomla accounts. Please look at the link given by Nicolas. It explain how modify Joomla and how access to the Joomla user profile in the front-end.
