  When I make a comment on another blog and log in with WP, it goes to an old post of mine rather than showing my most current blog post. How do I configure it so that it shows my most current post?

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

  Hi Linda – do you mean that your username links to the wrong blog? If so, you can update that in the “Website” field in Users->Personal Settings here:
  https://kuophotoblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=grofiles-user-settings

  If this isn’t the issue, can you please provide a bit more detail about exactly what you’re seeing?

  Ahh ok thanks! How come in the profile page, that “primary blog” doesn’t have my blog.kuophoto.com address but only shows the kuophotoblog.wordpress.com one?

  Hi,
  Ok it’s still not working. When I make a comment on someone elses blog, the page that shows up is lrkuo.wordpress.com It’s not my current blog. I must have created that when I was trying to set up a blog when I first tried WP. How can I fix that asap?

  However, in “account details” for website, it says http://blog.kuophoto.com/ in the box that says “automatically linked when you make comments” I would think that would link my comment to my current blog.

  Hi Linda – can you please link me directly to a comment you’ve left, so I can take a look? Thanks!

  Hi. Yes this is the blog I commented on and I used WP as my identity link. The second link, is the page it goes to when you click on my name. I don’t remember if this was a blog I initially set up? But I’d like it to link back to my kuophoto blog. Thanks!

  Hi Linda- Ok, I see what you mean. Hmm, and your settings are all correct, so I’m not sure why that comment is linking to an old blog of yours. Did you leave that comment before you changed your settings?

  Could you please leave a test comment on your own site now, and see if your username links to the correct site, or if it’s still the old one.

  Hey Yeah! Thanks for that suggestion (to make a post on my own site) I did change my settings after I made that comment. I thought even so, that that comment would revert to the new settings. Guess not. Thank you for your suggestion!

  Hi Linda – awesome, I’m glad you’re set! :) Correct, it doesn’t update past comments, but when you comment from now on, it will link to the right place.
