Description

Expected behavior

Step 4: The 'Profile' icon should display the updated 'Public display name' instead of the original 'First name' from the Google email account.
Step 7: After changing the 'First name', 'Last name', and 'Public display name', the 'Profile' icon should reflect these updates accurately.

Actual behavior

Step 4: The 'Profile' icon displays the 'First name' from the Google email account.
Step 7: After changing the 'First name', 'Last name', and 'Public display name', the 'Profile' icon still displays the original 'First name' from the Google email account.

  1. Click 'Log in or sign up with WordPress.com'
  2. Click 'Continue with Google'
  3. Sign in with a google email
  4. Click 'Me' button
  5. Click 'My Profile'
  6. Change the 'First name', 'Last name' and 'Public display name'
  7. Click 'Back' icon
