  Hi,

  I’m having problems renaming my blog title (not relocate or change the URL).
  When I settings / general / site title the title changes (e.g. on the blog front page) but the old name (My Blog) shows up in many places e.g. under “Manage My Blogs”.

  How do I change the blog title so that the new title shows up also under “My Blogs”?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It won’t show up there or on the dashboard. It will always show the old title, but you and staff are the only ones who can see that.

  As a new WordPress user that kind of behaviour seems very strange.
  Wouldn’t that lead to confusing situations when a user has several blogs that all show up as “My Blog” in the blogs management view?

  Is there a reason why it works like this? It’s fairly easy to understand why you can’t change the blog address but not being able to fully change the title feels odd.

  The my blogs stuff will update. Log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then take another look. If it doesn’t update right away, just give it a little time. I’ve seen it take a day before it updates.
