Author Name Issues
-
I have created my wordpress blog with my personal email Id and details. Later after changing my theme, I realised that it shows the Author name as my profile name from the primary email Id and not the blogname. So I created a new email Id with my blog name and changed it as the primary mail Id and also the public profile name every where. Still in the posts it shows my original name “Venkatesh Kandalam” as the author rather than showing “Techno4use”. I am not understand from where does it take the name.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have a username and a display name. The username is the one that you use to log in and that appears next to your name here in the forums.
The display name is what will appear as post author and when you leave a comment. I’m guessing you need to change your display name.
Both of these can be changed under Users ->Personal Profile: http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

Hi kokkieh,

Have you changed your display name?
If you’ve changed the display name and it doesn’t change automatically for your posts, you might have to update it manually by going to Posts ->All Posts and change it with the Quick Edit option.

Yes I did… I changed my user name, display name, details even in Gravatar. Still it shows my original name. May be it will apply for the post created after changing.
You can check the author name in the following link at the bottomAirdroid… Wireless Management App for your Android Phone #Review

Do you have your Google+ profile connected to your account? If so, your Google+ profile name is shown instead of your display name. The only way to have your display name show is to disconnect your Google+ Profile. http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-plus-profile/#google-profile-connection-features

Thank goodness… Yes you were right. Am surprised to know that google+ profile overrides the wordpress basic details itself. Thanks alot for the help :).
