Site still using the old name after rename and display name of alerts

Hello,

 

a site already renamed with the new name (title and description) some weeks ago.
Although, all new alerts on that site & libraries still using the old name... 
All alerts still using the old name, event if I delete them and create them from scratch. 

 

It is a classic sharepoint site, not connected to o365 groups.

 

Title and description already modified. 

Any ideas how to resolve it (Noreply and alerts must use the new brand name) ? 

 

Thanks in advanced.

  • Unfortunately no way to resolve this by yourself...this seems to be a bug in a SPO (To be honest, It's the first time I heard about it, but for sure I has been there for some time) so I would recommend to open a support ticket

      Thank you for your reply.

      Following to o365 guides, I have to run (sharepoint Online Power shell) the following:

      Set-SPOSite -Title "name" https://name1.sharepoint.com/name2

      but there is a negative result:

      Set-SPOSite : The site https://name1.sharepoint.com/name2 is not properly formed.
      At line:1 char:1
