  I am one of two admins, trying to remove the other (with their consent!)

  I get an error when I try to delete the other account from being an admin of my site on the wp-admin page. Also from my dashboard I get an error message.

  Anyone else struggle with this and can help me?

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

  Hi there,

  The reason you would have trouble removing administrators is if you are not an administrator yourself or if the administrator you’re trying to remove is the owner of the account. If that is the case, the owner will need to transfer ownership of the blog over to another admin ( in this case, you), which will automatically remove them as a user of the site.
  You can find more information on user roles here:

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
