After posting your blog in WordPress, if you’d like to change how your author name displays follow these few simple steps. Note: you cannot change your username (the name you use to login).
- Go to the Profile page in your admin area.
- Scroll down to the Name section where you can see options to edit your First Name, Last Name and Nickname.
- Once any amendments have been completed, click on the drop-down menu next to the option ‘Display name publicly as’. You can select from your nickname, username, first, last or full name to be displayed with your posts.
- After selecting the name you want to use, click on the Update Profile button to save your changes.
- Check your blog posts to be sure your name has updated and is displayed as you intended.
