# Wrong comment authors

 * Some of the comments posted by visitors to my site are incorrectly attributed
   on the frontend to my (admin) username.
 * I’m guessing this might be because I had to edit some of them.
 * The backend (admin) shows the correct author names, but I can find no way to 
   make them display correctly on the frontend. I would be grateful for any advice.

 * Thank you very much for your response.
 * I deactivated and deleted the previous version and overwrote it with the Beta
   version.
 * When I first looked at the comments page, all the correct authors were showing,
   but of course the style was messed up.
 * I then carried out the 3 step setup process from Admin and regenerated data etc.
 * The display of comments is fine now, but unfortunately it’s showing the admin
   author again, in place of the commenting authors.
