  I’m trying to delete an unused admin, or at least change them to a contributor. I would like to attribute all their content to the remaining admin. Every time I try to change anything related to their role, I get the message, “There was an error updating…”

  How can I delete or change the admin?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  This is happening because the other administrator on the site is also the site owner. They need to transfer ownership of the site to you first:
