Okay, so before I start the FAQ I want to tell you a story. You see, while I was first setting up WordPress here I made a comment while not logged in and put “vance” as my name, which also happens to be my username on this site. I then discovered the “Display Name” feature in my profile and spent two hours trying to figure out why everywhere else on the page correctly updated my display to “Kyle Staves” , but my comment was still “vance.” Well… yea, I wasn’t logged in… so whoops. Much time spent in comment-template.php has been list. Anyhow, on to the questions
-
How do I change how my name is displayed on the site?
Navigate to http://indevs.net/wp-admin/profile.php (must be logged in). Then simply select something from the “Display Name Publicly As” tab. I highly suggest going with the First Last method instead of a nick-name of some sort, as this is what will tag all of your articles and work as well as your comments.
