Wrong openID displays on comments
-
When I make comments on any WP blog they appear as coming from a blog that used to be mine but isn’t anymore as I transferred it to another user.
My openID correctly displays in the dashboard as thisbrother.wordpress.com, but that’s not what I’m leaving when I make comments. How can this be fixed?
Thank you,
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your username is linked to https://onacracker.wordpress.com/
It is not linked to http://thisbrother.wordpress.com/
You can link your username to only one primary blog.Here’s how to link your username to another blog registered under the same username account Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Primary Blog. Where it says ‘Primary Blog‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.
The change is not retroactive. Comments made previous to the change will remain linked as they were when submitted and approved.
I tagged this thread for Staff assistance because I don’t use Open ID and I suspect there is an option to handle this in it. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

Thank you- I thought that too but that’s not it. I made Thisbrother my primary blog before I got rid of the other one.
Going to the settings you mention, Thisbrother is the only one that shows up.
Thanks for flagging this for assistance. I have subscribed.

Hi Greg,
Visit this page:
https://thisbrother.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=grofiles-user-settings
Scroll all the way to the bottom under ‘Account Details’ and there is a field for “website” that still has onacracker.wordpress.com listed.
Switch that out to https://thisbrother.wordpress.com/, save changes, and you should be all set. :)
