WordPress.com account settings control your username, email, primary site, interface language, and login preferences. In this guide, you will learn how to update your account information and customize your WordPress.com experience.
To visit your account settings:
- Hover over your profile at the top right, and select the “My WordPress.com account” button.
- Select the Account Settings menu option on the left side.
In the Account Information section, you can change your account username, email address, and the primary site (if you have more than one) that appears when you log into your account.
- Change your username
- Change your email address
- Set your primary site – not to be confused with setting your site’s primary address, your primary site is the website that appears first when you log into your WordPress.com account.
After you make any changes, click the “Save account settings” button to save your changes.
In the Interface settings section, you can set the language for your WordPress.com administrative screens and choose your default landing page.
Click the language field to select the language for your administrative screens. There are over 100 languages available. Use the Search languages field or filter by region to select your language. Then, click the “Apply Changes” button.
