All of my comments on my website that I have replied to are listed as "Admin" and have no gravatar associatted with them. I made a gravatar account, and a picture shows up, but
Usually, if your name appears as 'admin' against your comments it is because your username is 'admin'.
If this is the case, I recommend creating a new administrator level user account for yourself and deleting the one with the username 'admin'.
The new administrator account should have a username that is not obvious - i.e. not your name or your site's name.
This is more a security benefit than anything else: with 'admin' as your username the hackers already have half of the information they need to access your site with a Brute Force attack.
Happy to clarify anything if I need to!
Cheers,
Martin.
Yes you can. You need to change it in Wordpress. Go to users --> hoover over your admin picture until 'edit' shows up --> click 'edit' --> add your name to that page
Half way down your user page you'll see 'Display name publicly as' --> pick the one you want.
Hi - I can't see an easy way of doing this, other than clicking edit under each comment, and physically typing in your name. Hopefully, somebody will have a less time-consuming answer!
Can you change the comment posters name?
