Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your WordPress username still being visible in certain instances. It seems that changing your nickname has resolved some of the occurrences, but not all.
To fully change your username in Rank Math, you will need to contact the Rank Math Support team directly. You can check if the username you want is available by using the following URL, replacing username with your desired username:
https://support.rankmath.com/users/username/
If it shows a "Page not found" error, that means the username is available. You can then open a ticket requesting the change.
Please note that usernames can only contain letters and numbers, without spaces or special characters.
For further assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and help you resolve this issue.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention!

Hello,
Please note that Rank Math takes the data that you add to your author profile in WP Dashboard > Users.
However, you can use the filter given below to remove the default Person Schema that our plugin adds to the author archives:
add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
if(is_author()) {
unset($data['ProfilePage']);
return $data;
}
return $data;
}, 99, 2);
And here is how to add a filter to your site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
Hope that helps.
