Wrong Twitter Handle
-
When you click the share to twitter button on my posts it always puts @RantBolt instead of @BoltRant. I’ve changed my handle in my settings and everything but it still will not change to the new one.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello!
Can you try disconnecting and then reconnecting the twitter publicize feature?
Go to: Dashboard–>Settings–>Sharing -
-
Can you try clearing your browsers cookies? As it appears that some users report when they clear their cookies WordPress is able to reconnect with the right twitter account

Log into your WordPress.com blog. Go to Settings→Sharing in your blog’s Dashboard and click the X next to the link to the Twitter account you wish to disconnect.
Reload the page and confirm the link now says Create new Twitter connection.
Clear your browser’s cookies (this clears some cookies that Twitter sets which are often part of the problem).
Log back into your WordPress.com blog. Go to Settings→Sharing in your blog’s Dashboard and follow these steps to reconnect. -
Tried that, same thing. It says it is connected to @BoltRant but when you hit to share it to twitter at the bottom of a post it says @RantBolt in the tweet

Ok one more idea.
If you go to Dashboard–>Settings–>Sharing and scroll down and enter in your new twitter handle does it resolve the problem?See here: http://pbrd.co/1Gbyu6T

Okay it is now working on new posts I believe. Don’t know how that happened but that is good enough for me. Thanks for the help.

Glad it is working! =)
For future reference:
It might have taken some time for the changes to populate across the internet
