  Hi there. If your theme displays the author name the only way to remove it is by editing the theme’s CSS, and you need the Custom Design upgrade to do that.

  However, you can change your display name in your personal profile and then that will display as post author (and next to comments) instead of your username. The display name can be literally anything, and you can change it as often as you want.

  Change the content of the Public Display Name field here and save your settings to change the display name: https://wordpress.com/me/public-profile/
