  My profile name links to someone else’s blog. I’ve changed the url in settings, linked with gravatar, looked everywhere for this random link to change it and can’t find any solution. I don’t want to be linked to this random blog!

  It’s bothsidesofthecouch

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

  Okay, I flagged this for staff. You’re like the fourth or fifth person I’ve seen with this issue, and it’s always an old blog. Very odd.

  Hi there,

  Can you send me a link to a page where you see your name linked to someone else’s blog? That will help me investigate this for you.

  There’s no specific page, when you click on my user name it takes you to bothsidesofthecouch. When you hover your mouse over my username the link is also bothsidesofthecouch.

  When I click on your username in this forum thread, I go to your site here: https://twosidesofthecouch.wordpress.com/

  Are you clicking on your username here in the forums, or somewhere else?

  When I click on my user name from this page for example, it takes me to the blog that isn’t mine.

  Thanks for that link. The web address in your account settings is what’s used as the link when you leave a comment on blog posts. However, when you update that web address, it doesn’t change old comments you already left — it will only change the link for new comments that you leave after making that change.
