I know this tip may be very obvious to some, but I keep seeing “admin” as the author name on many WordPress blogs. I thought I’d write this quick tip post because these WordPress bloggers may not even know how to change the publicly displayed author name. Fortunately, this is very simple to do. In your WordPress admin panel, select Users -> Your Profile. On this page, enter whatever you want as your nickname, and click “Update Profile.”
Once that’s done, select this newly created nickname from the “Display name publicly as” dropdown menu. Update your profile again, and that’s it.









Good tip. Funny how sometimes the most obvious things are missed right from the start:)
That was very informative. Thank You
Is there a way to change the Login name as well, because, the username “ADMIN” is known and thus open to hackers.
I thought everyone know that. However I really appreciate your move to bring forth simple things they are generally treated as known, but not everybody know them.
