I am simply trying to change my page ‘name’, not the ‘username’. However, everytime I try and submit the new name it says ‘This name is already taken. Please try another name.’ which
1) The name doesn’t appear to be taken
2) Surely the only thing that matters is that the ‘username’ is exclusive, not actually the page name?
Any assistance from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
