As you've only got 15 comments it's not going to be a huge task to copy and paste all the comments where you want them to be.
In your WordPress dashboard find Comments on the left-hand menu.
For each comment hover over the comment until you see "Edit". Right-click on Edit and open in new tab. Now copy the name, email address, URL (if wanted) and the comment and paste them into a Notepad text document.
Go to the appropriate page or post and paste the details you copied into the comment box.
Rinse and repeat.
Ah, Marion, you truly are an expert!
You'd think that after your wonderful tutorial on FileZilla and backing up my website - which saved me many an hour - that I'd be familiar with that notepad by now...
But the real rub is that I never even paid attention to the "comments" section in the dashboard! I was trying to edit page by page and the "obvious" was not that obvious to me!
Thanks so much for your guidance! Tomorrow after my J.O.B. it will only take me a few minutes to get my comments back into their proper place!
Many thanks!
Christian
Thank you Marion, this is helpful also for me!
You are an infinite source of knowledge, thanks a lot!

Just finished course 2 lesson 7 and created a new User for blogging, page creation etc. Went in to WP and changed all of the pages and posts from "admin" over to the new user n
Thank you, but unfortunately that did not help. I even viewed my website using a new, completely different device that had never been used to view my site before, and the original "admin" is still there...
Even though it's signed by Christian, which makes it look even sillier!

"When you log into your Wordpress website going forward, all of the content you create will naturally be posted under your new User and the authors can always be edited after the fact."
From this it would seem that retro-actively changing posts and post responses from "admin" to "Christian" should be possible, but how?
If you login with the new user all the NEW posts are posted as this user. To change the old ones you need to enable to show the author of your posts. See on the top for display options, check the author. Then simply change the author to your new user at the end of each old post (under your content)
That did the trick! Thank you so very much.
Now I'm just waiting for my Gravatar picture to upload properly and it will all (hopefully) make sense!
Thanks so much!
