Changing my account name

  • Unknown's avatar

    I apparently made this blog a long time ago for some unknown reason to me, and I am interested in starting to use it now, however the blog url and name of the blog (shkneflak) is not one that I would prefer it to be attached to. Not sure how Stronghold Kingdoms got associated with this blog, but I would prefer to change it if possible. If this isn’t possible could I just delete all the information associated with this blog and start a new one with the email associated with this account?

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

    re: changing a site title or tagline
    The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.

    That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

    re: changing a display name
    You can change both your WordPress.com account username (the name you use to login) and your display name (the name that is seen on your posts and comments).

    Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use. If you just want to show your name differently please only change your Display Name. https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/#change-display-name-nickname
