    Forum Admin Name

    in Forum Discussions

    Hello,


    I'd like to know if there's any way to change the admin name in the forum page. In other words, if I post in my forum I'd like for the posts I make there to simply say "Admin", not my Wix name which contains my real name shortened + numerics. I've searched Help and the web and I cannot find a way to do this.


    In my case my forum is not so much "social", it's more answering questions about free software I develop and for the most part I don't want any reference to my real name in my forum posts.


    Thanks in advance.

    I'm having the same issue. I have have updated my six username but my forum name (as admin) is still my old user name. I have refreshed and log out and back in and it's still the same. I don't anywhere else where I can change my forum name. Anyone know?

    @Vytenis Butkevičius hi! 1. I looked around on the forum I created on my website for a place to change my username that shows up when I add posts and could not find a place to do this. 2. researched what to do and read I needed to change my wix user name to do so, so I went to my profile and changed my username. 3. Went back to my forum and refreshed the page and still the old user name was there. 4. Logged out and logged back in, went back to forums, and still same old user name 5. looked again on the forum for a place to change user name to no avail. 6. posted here on this forum

    @adriennegbanks You have to change your username on your site (and not on wix.com) to do this you have to. go to your profile and click edit.

    Thanks for the info. That works. Log in to you own website and edit your profile from there and it works!

    That doesn't work. I put "Admin" as the first name but when I post in the forum it shows the original XXX01 name as the poster. I want to replace that with something of my choice.
