I have two blogs: http://06880danwoog.com and http://staplessoccer.com. I have my posts appear under different names (“Dan Woog” and “Staples Soccer”), and change the setting based on whichever blog I’m editing. However, the “Display name publicly as” option seems to have disappeared from the “Your profile” page — probably since I updated my profile under the new Gravatar option. I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find it. Any thoughts?

I know — that’s where it’s always been. It’s not there any longer — that’s why I posted the question. All that’s there now is my gravatar photo, and this: “This information will be displayed publicly on your profile. You may also edit your profile at gravatar.com. Were you looking for your API Key and other Personal Settings?”But there’s nothing when I click on the API Key/Personal Settings link either.
The “display name publicly as” option has disappeared.

One of my test blogs was left with that page open and it hadn’t updated to the new list, so other than suggesting you clear browser cache and cookies, restart, I’m out of ideas then.

I cleared browser cache and cookies — it’s still disappeared from both blogs. Could it be related to the fact that the new, upgraded Gravatar has a “display publicly” option too (although that only gives one option, not a dropdown list)?

A couple of other threads have reported the same issue. It’s possible they’re related, but only staff can say. This WILL annoy a lot of people.

When the announcement was made I thought this “Profile” was a good thing. However, in the end I deleting all the information I entered except “timethief” which I cannot delete. I spent ages straightening out my passwords as well. Now your gravatar passwrod and your password for your blog are the same! Arrggghh!@dwoog
I have found it here. Settings > Your Public Profile

Sorry, Timethief. I have clicked on that “Were you looking for your API Key and other Personal Settings” link. I STILL cannot find “display name publicly as” ANYWHERE — except on the Gravatar profile. I guess I will have to delete all that info and see if that works.

So basically you are saying that from now on I have to edit my profile via GRAVATAR every time I want to change my “public name” — not through the “Your Profile” dropdown menu as before. In other words, I now have more clicks to get through each time I want to change my public name.Is there any way to delete my new Gravatar profile completely?!

Yes.And no, not as far as I know without contacting staff and MAYBE they’ll delete it for you. I expected something like this when WP bought Gravatar.

I removed all my data from both Gravatar and from my blog Profile page.

Dang! I clicked too soon.
From Gavatars’s common questions page:
Please delete my account!
I’m sorry, we currently don’t delete accounts. If you remove all the images from your account, however, this simulates your account being deleted as far as the outside world is concerned.Copied from another thread….it appears this is the root of my nightmare. Can you please CLEAR ALL THIS GRAVATAR NONSENSE so i can reset a name on my blog?
above correspondences copied from another closed thread.

1) take a deep breath
2) stop commenting, period. Just pretend you’ve gone offline or something.
3) contact staff directly via http://support.wordpress.com/contact as this is a quirk that has popped up lately and requires them to fix.4) in order to make the accounts MORE separate, I suggest you register a new account and make one of them the Admin of one of those blogs; then when you wish to change “visible identities” you can just sign out as one person and back in as the other.

@bacheloretteblog,
Please re-frame from posting email addresses in the public forum because spam bots will harvest the emails for their dirty work. So I went ahead and removed the email for you…
