How do you hide your real name.
I WILL NOT HAVE MY REAL NAME BE VIEW BY THE PUBLIC!!!CHANGE IT BACK TO JOVANIFY…

If so, then you need to change your nickname/display name:
dashboard—>users—>my profile—>”Display name publicly as______”—>update profile -
Tried it before. Tried it again. Nothing is happening…
It just magically appeared. I didn’t even touch any personal settings or anything. It just appeared after a few seconds after refreshing my blog site.

And, not to be silly, but you are certain you are updating the profile. I mean I’ve often changes settings on my blogs and neglected to save?

I’m click the “Update Profile” button. I even went on Gravatar to see if my full name was there.
I don’t know how WordPress got this information. I only remember typing it to register my account. Why would I don’t something so ridiculous as to write down my First and Last name on my Profile?

Thank you for the information.

I’ve modlooked this for staff to explain why the publisize/sharing button can affect how an author’s name appears.

I’m surprised just as you are. I just remembered what they said to me in computer class. “Check for connections”.

Hi there,
Connecting your Google+ profile to your WordPress.com blog will change your display name on your posts and comments to your Google+ Real Name (the name you have on your Google+ Profile). This is one of the features of the Google+ connection. You can read more about these features here: Connect Your Google+ Profile
