On my version of wordpress there is a nickname field that you can fill and and will substitute for all instances of the username automatically, without changing anything else.  That's what I used when I went from posting as "admin" to "Karl" on my site anyway.

I did the same, but when you click on your name the URL is http://www.cultofmoney.com/author/admin/.

 

Mine instead of 'admin' it had my real name(As that was what I used to sign up)

Might as well add a new user.

I was just wondering if there is a possible way to hide my username on wordpress? I have my nickname currently set to MyCanadianFinances but when I created the account I named the account with my real name. This name shows up when you click on my nickname. Is there any way to hide this aside from making a new user account to post with?

 

Doesn't really bother to have people know my real name, just an added bit of security I would like to have.

 

Thanks to all.
