User Name vs. Profile/Display Name

    Hi! I am trying to understand the difference between user name and display name. I am working to create a blog that will have multiple contributors and we all want a different name – but the overall page we still want to be called the same thing (which is currently listed as my display name/profile name/user name). I want to make sure I am changing the right thing before I change my name as a contributor.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there,

    Almost all the themes in our library show the display name. So this is the one you need to change.

    You can quickly test that by making a test post and seeing how your name is displayed.

    Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
