  I am trying to change the public display name for one of our admins and each time I change the setting it immediately reverts back

  Hi there,

  On what site are you working? The account you’re using to post here does not own any sites on WordPress.com, and it’s also impossible to change the public display name for anyone but yourself on a WordPress.com site, as that setting is located in each person’s account settings, and not specific to individual sites in your account.

  If you’re using the open source WordPress software at another host, please ask for help at https://wordpress.org/support/forums instead.
