Removing a name from a post
-
Hey everyone, I’m writing a financial blog that’s going to get into some of my personal finances and I don’t necessarily want all my financial info out there for the world to see. Is it possible to update the ‘by’ name on all my posts to a fake name?

Hi there!
You can change your display name, as explained here:

You can also set your site as private so you can approve the readers manually:

Thanks fresatomica! Would this update it for every site that I’m an author on or is there a setting to change it for individual sites?
-
Great question! It would update your display name for every site on this account. If you have four sites on this account, it would update your display name for all four sites.
If that doesn’t fit your needs, the next best course of action is to create a second WordPress.com account for this new financial blog. That would then give you the ability to present this information in a way that wasn’t attached to things you didn’t want it to be attached to.
