WordPress tweets out the wrong Twitter sharing name
-
I changed the twitter username to include in tweets when people share using the Twitter button to my business account, but it still still tweets out my personal account. On wordpress it says that it is going to tweet via my business account but it still tweets out from my personal account.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What do you mean by “it still tweets out from my personal account”? When you click on the Twitter share button, the tweet is being posted by your personal Twitter account?
Whenever someone/anyone clicks the Twitter share button, the tweet is always sent out by the account that the user is logged in as. For example, when I click it, the tweet will be sent out by MY username (not your personal or business account).
Hence, if it posts as your personal account, it may be because you are logged in with that account at the time.
Apologies if I misunderstand the question/problem.

Normally when you tweet a link to share it has the title of the post, the url and the end portion says “via (what ever twitter name you set it to” Instead of it saying my business account it says my personal account. Even though i went into my setting for my business account to be displayed

If you check the Sharing settings (under Settings – Sharing, did you change it by connecting to a different Twitter account, or did you change the user name under “Twitter username to include in tweets when people share using the Twitter button.” (a little lower down the page)?
What does it say at that setting?
