  I went to Seetings > profile > public display name and changed it to ‘fireandfable’ and saved the profile settings. Yet, it doesn’t reflect on the site page. Please help me accomplish this.

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

  All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com where the searchbox works very well. :) See here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/#change-display-name-nickname

  Hi @fireandfable,

  What do you mean when you say “it’s not reflected on the site page”? Maybe you are trying to change your site title and not your username? Your username has been changed and is showing up correct in the forums. I’m wondering if you are trying to change something else which is actually not your username?

  Let us know and we’ll be happy to help!

  Kind regards,
  Jason
