AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
SX User Name Security is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 13 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Daniel Roch — established developer track record

How SX User Name Security works
Show full descriptionShow less
WordPress show your WordPress login and ID in several places. It’s time to fix this !
WordPress automaticaly uses “User login” to fill in the “User Display Name”.
WordPress also allows everyone to use the same value for Nickname, Display Name and Login.
The body_class function also shows to everyone your User ID and Login on author pages.
A hacker can easily see then use your “NickName” or “Display Name” to find your real login. Once activated, SX User Name Security will prevent WordPress from showing those informations, and will warn you if you need to fix old users.
Features
Body_class function:
Removes User ID from body_class function (front-end users pages)
Removes User Nicename from body_class function (front-end users pages)
Current User informations:
The plugin changes “Display Name” and “Nickname” to a random value (like ‘Ticibe T. Aduvoguripe’, ‘Lagubo N. Agigerovibe’ or ‘Datela N. Orejadavino’) if they are identiqual to user login
If not, it changes “Display Name” to “Nickname” or “Nickname” to “Display Name” if one of them is identiqual to user login
