  I’ve just discovered that posts on my organization’s blog (which I administer) that I author as the organization (rootsofjusticeinc) have the About Author listed as my personal name. The public profile of rootsofjusticeinc does not show my personal name in any setting. The “Display Name” is “Roots of Justice”. We are using the theme Twenty Ten.

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

  Hi there,

  This is happening because you have connected and enabled Google Authorship through your Sharing settings found here:

  https://rootsofjusticetraining.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharing

  When you connect your Google + profile to a certain user, your Google + name automatically overrides the Display Name. In order to remove your name from the “About the Author” section of each post, you will need to disable Google Authorship. Then, your Display Name should appear.

  Let me know if you have any trouble!

  Thanks. I never would have found that.

  It can be a bit tricky. Basically, when you connect Google+ authorship, that overrides your display name. Let me know if you need anything else!
