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

Awsome! thanks for all the help everyone!

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.

Kill it off so that your own named user is the single admin.

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?
