  Hi there,

  You can change the name displayed on your posts and comments by changing the display name on your Personal Settings Dashboard:

  Change Your Username

  You can watch a video showing how to change your display name here:

  Change Your Username

  If you need to change your actual username, please follow these steps:

  Change Your Username

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

  Hi,

  Thanks for your response.
  I would like to change the username (I’ve already changed my displayed name, which is, by the way, not what is displayed here…).
  I tried to followed the steps shown in wordpress support but the username under account setting can’t be edited…

  If you go here: https://wordpress.com/me/account

  You should be able to update your username. Please let me know if you can not. I checked your account to confirm the ability to change your username, and you should be good to go.

  Thanks,
