Username on preview links don’t match with mine
-
Whenever I post my link on a website or a chat, the preview displays my former username, not my current one.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, thanks for reaching out about this!
I see you updated your WordPress.com username a while back, so I definitely understand not wanting that to display! Can you tell me more specifics about where you are sharing your link when you run into that issue? For instance, is that when you try to share your link on Twitter, Facebook, or other social networking sites?
Each service like this will cache their own data about your site, which means they each might have a slightly different process for troubleshooting. Let us know what specific sites or services are displaying that out-dated username, and we’re happy to dive in to see if we can figure out why that’s happening.
Looking forward to hearing from you again soon.

Hey again!
So far, the only evidence of your old username I’ve been able to find on your site was a remnant of your old Twitter account, which was saved in your sharing options. Our team has updated that for you to refresh that and remove your old username. I hope that helps!
If you’d like to chat about this further, let us know what other connections are giving you trouble. In the future if you ever choose to grow your site, priority email support is available for site owners using the Personal Plan, or you can reach us in Live Chat Support Monday-Friday if you opt for the Premium Plan!
