Facebook author. Can it be changed?
-
I have my blog set to publish and share on my Facebook page, but it comes up showing ‘by *my real name* ‘ NOT my blog name!
Can this be changed to show my blog name rather than my real name?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I don’t know how your real name can display at Facebook if it does not appear in your blog and you have not provided it at Facebook. I suggest you disconnect the Publicize app http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/ and wait for Staff to assist with this. I’ll tag this thread for their help. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

I use my real name on Facebook. But when sharing a blog post, my blog author name should be the one showing, not my real name. If WordPress has it set up to share as whatever the Facebook account name is, then the FB sharing link is rather useless.

If you have Publicize set up to share to your personal page, it will use that data when sharing the post, as you are the one sharing it. That’s how sharing on Facebook works. If you don’t want your name to show up, you can connect it to a different Facebook account or create a page for your blog, and connect it to that account.
