  After filling in the “Follow this blog via e-mail”-widget, a “Thank you”-message is displayed. In this message it says: “The authors can also be followed on:” and below this text the available Twitter accounts are displayed. I didn’t set this myself, so I assume this is an automated function. Can this be changed? One of the blog author’s Twitter account is displayed and I want to remove that. How can I do this, where can I find this?

  Thanks in advance for your answer!

  Hi there!

  You have a number of sites under your user account – can you let me know which blog you’re having this issue on? Once I have that information, I’ll be happy to take a closer look.

  Thank you!

  Hi!

  I’m sorry I left that out! It’s about the blog grootformaat.blogs.canon.nl.
  Do you know enough with this?

  Kind regards.

  Thanks for that information!

  I ran a test on your follow blog widget and I see those Twitter accounts too! I don’t see any setting in that widget that could explain why those two accounts are being suggested.

  Let me check in with our developers to see what might be going on and I’ll get back to you once I have more information.

  Thanks!

  Ok, I just heard back from our developer.

  Two other admins on the blog have enabled Publicize to have their posts be automatically shared to Twitter. You don’t see the option to remove the connection under Settings -> Sharing because only the user that added the connection can remove it. Here’s more information on Publicize:

  If you want to have those recommended Twitter accounts removed, you would have to contact those two users on the site who have these Twitter addresses linked and have them delete their connections to Twitter. Here’s a screenshot of those two accounts for your reference:

  We have no way to look up a user account by Twitter handle, so you would have to determine which user has those accounts separately.

  I hope that clarifies things!
