    I have noticed that my wordpress user id is appearing in google search results, which is obviously not great for security as a hacker could use it to try access my site. I’m using Yoast, however Yoast is unable to include X’s shortcode images in it’s XML sitemap. Therefore I can only assume its coming from within X. Hope you can advise.

    Check following screenshot.

    Hey Rob,

    X uses get_the_author function to display the author name. Looks like you haven’t set your profile completely. Please go to Users > Profile and edit your profile. If you haven’t done so, please fill in at least your first name and set that as Display name publicly as

    Thanks.
