  Hi! I am hoping you can see the issue in this post. WordPress uses my username instead of the display name. Is there a way to fix this?

  Hi there :)

  Your WordPress.com username is shown by default, but you might prefer your first name or a nickname instead.

  Follow the instructions here to edit your Public 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.
