  hello,
  as I changed several times my public display Name, i thought it will change also in older comments, but it hasn´t. Is ist possible, that also in the older comment the name change in the actual name? Thanks a lot for an answer, because I really tried a lot, and do not have any sucess. Kind regards Stephanie

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

  Hi there,

  The display name is cached on a site when you leave a comment, so it’s not updated if you later change the display name. The new display name will only show on new comments you leave going forward.

  Thank you so much for your answer kokkieh!!!
  So there is no chance to get rid of the old comments or at least the old names on the comments? No way at all?

  Have a nice day

  There is not, no. Once a comment is submitted, only the owner of the site where the comment was left has the ability to delete or edit the comment.
