Super Admin – Can’t Edit User Info

  • When posting a blog on our site, if I want to list the author of the blog as someone outside of our main team, I have to create a user account for them, and make them an author. When I create the user account, it only allows me to enter a username, which can have no spaces or special characters, and is uneditable.
    If I try to go into the user account, and edit the info so it displays their name as their full name (in this case, Anna Harris vs. annaharris), when I click update, it comes up with a blank screen, with this in the url bar:
    https://activategood.org/wp-admin/user-edit.php

    If i type enter on the url bar, with that in it, a line of text comes up that says invvalid user id.

    After I navigate away from this screen, the edit doesn’t stick.

    Other users have been edited before in our site, for the aforementioned purpose, but now I can’t edit any users.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Once a user is created you should be able to re-enter that profile and edit the visible username. The account’s username can’t be changed but the visible name can be.
