Twitter Sharing Issue

  When someone shares my blog posts through the Twitter button at the bottom of any post it via the wrong Twitter account.

  For example the shared tweet will state it:

  “The Ulsterfication of Scottish Politics http://wp.me/p2EYaD-46 via @Aidan_Kerr”

  I need to say “via @Aidan_Kerr1”, not @Aidan_Kerr.

  Could anyone help me with this minor yet important matter?

  P.S

  I have since went through settings>sharing and changed my Twitter handle.

  However, only posts created from the ‘Quick post’ button and not through the whole admin/dashboard post function carry the new Twitter handle in the share button.

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

  Hi Aidan,

  I fixed that up for you so the correct Twitter username (@Aidan_Kerr1) will appear when sharing any of the posts on your blog. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  I’ve had to disable the Twitter sharing button as I simply can’t afford to misattirbute someone else.

  Hi there,

  If you enable that Twitter sharing button again, I’d be happy to troubleshoot this for you. Just let me know if you do that and I can take a closer look.

  Hi Aidan, thanks for enabling that button again. I noticed that your most recent post had a different incorrect Twitter username on it, so I went ahead and fixed that. I then spot-checked your blog and I’m seeing the correct username @Aidan_Kerr1 for the Twitter sharing button everywhere.

  If you notice a problem with it, either now or after you publish your next post, please let me know!

  @brechbuehl — Please start a new forum thread with your question, as it’s unrelated to the question in this thread. Thanks!

  It looks like the sharing button here:

  http://aidankerr.com/2015/02/15/get-them-poured/

  is showing the Twitter handle _Kerr__. Your current handle is still Aidan_Kerr1 right?
