Change of "from" name when a post is shared

  • darrylcotton · Member ·

    Hi. How do I change the “from” name when a post is shared?
    I want the post to be from meltoncapetown. Instead it says my name (darryl cotton). Thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Go Users > My Profile and change “Display name publicly as” and save. Then your posts, and your shares will reflect that name.

    I looks like “Users” was changed to “People”, but if I’m wrong, sorry and disregard this message. :)

    Thank you.
    Do you know if its possible to have a different authentication system other than Captcha when sharing a post by email? We have many elderly viewers who battle to read one of the words, (as do I) .

    The captcha is provided by the social service, so we have not control over that. I checked my test blog and didn’t see one come up for FB, but then I’m logged into FB so perhaps that is why it didn’t show up. Generally there is way to have it speak the captcha code, or enlarge it. Does that appear when sharing? If you can take a screenshot of it and upload it to your media library, or to a file sharing service I can take a look at it.
