When I change "blog title" the title shows up on my header and I don't want that - I have my own custom header... I want to change the blog NAME, not the blog TITLE..

IE in particular seems reluctant to accept cookie updates much of the time.

My blog names under the dashboard do not update the changes made. However, when I go to dashboard, settings, I am able to change the Blog Title.

Is the blog title and blog name different, if so maybe that is why it is not updating under blog names in the dashboard.

Please help, anyone at all.

If I gave WP enough time it was magically fixed so it must be a delayed thing with wordpress. Thanks for the help I'm going to consider the matter closed but it is worth noting. Kelly

Log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then look again. IE is notorious for hanging onto cached versions of files and refusing to update them when you call for a forced refresh/reload of a page. The only way to get it to actually update all the files is a cache clear and restart of the browser.

Now the 2nd blog's title has been changed. I thought maybe it didn't accept punctuation so I tried that and now the first blog's title has gone wonky again (probably due to my tinkering). I've changed the title, again on the first blog, and will see if it somehow magically changes to what I want.

To repeat what I've been seeing, try this:

1) Change the title in the Settings > General and clicking on "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.
2) Go to My Account > My Blogs and look to see what the title is (should show the old name). Click on the Address of the Blog, the title should show the new name just entered.
3) Go to the Dashboard of the blog and go to the Settings > General it will show the changes just made and if you repeat #2 (My Account > My Blogs) it should show the old name.

Maybe it is a delayed update thing.

I hope that makes sense. Kelly

I've tried to change the Settings > General many times but it doesn't seem to work. I feel there must be a bug. I've even tried changing the themes to see if that would do it. Still need help. Thanks.

Now, I can't seem to change it to its new name, it still shows as "My Blog" under the Dashboard. I know that I've been able to change it on my other blogs but can't seem to do it now. Thanks.
