Author name / cache

Hi I have changed several Name fields in username, but the author name still reverts to the original.

E g. First Name: Hayley, Last Name: Wiggins is now
First Name: Mrs H, Last Name: Wiggins

But new and existing blog posts still show Hayley Wiggins as author.

Is there anything I can do to empty cache or something?

but the author name still reverts to the original.

Where are you seeing the change revert? Do you mean revert, or does it just not change?

Sorry wrong term ;-) Yes it doesn't change, even on new posts.

Are you updating the user in Users, or the author in Blog?

The user in Users.

In Meta and Social in blog posts it still shows the old name also.

You need to update the Author, not the User.
