  I changed my username and handle but the blog has not updated these changes to the posts I had made.

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

  Hi there. What is the URL of your blog? There’s nothing we can do to help you without that.

  My username and profile used to be jimschadek and I tried to change it to raza90. I would like all of the comments and posts I have made in the past to show as “raza90”
  Thanks

  Thanks for the extra information. I see your blog is private, so I cannot check it myself.

  When you changed your username, did you also update your display name? The username is used when you log in and here in the forum, but for the blog author the display name is shown instead. Go to your account settings and make sure the field next to Public Display Name is showing the username you want: https://wordpress.com/me/public-profile/

  I had changed the public display name as well but all of the posts that I had made in the past do not show my updated display name.

  I know comment author info is cached, so when you change your display name it doesn’t change for old comments, but I don’t know whether it works that way for posts as well. I’m going to tag this for staff to follow up, as they can also access your private site to check whether there might be something else wrong. Please be patient while you wait for their response.

  While you wait, please try clearing your browser cache and cookies and check if that makes any difference. If it works, let me know and I’ll remove the staff tag again. If it doesn’t work, also reply here so staff will know you’ve already tried that.

  Hello there,

  You do not have a WordPress.com site registered under the WordPress.com account name raza90.

  What is the site in question? Thanks much.

  The change is not retroactive as far as I’m aware.

  Hey there,

  The blog retrozombiepinball.wordpress.com does not seem to have either the user jimschadek or raza90 in the list of users.

  Please take a look at your list of users and let me know the one you thought you had changed:
  https://retrozombiepinball.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php

  Thanks much.

  Hey there,

  I’m moving this discussion to a private email, since we need to discuss your account information so I can be clearer.

  Keep an eye out.

  Thanks!
