  So I’m working on a film and we’re getting ready to start working on our WordPress site. The problem is, the director had an intern set up the basic page well over a year ago (before I was even on the project) and now we don’t know who has admin rights to the page.

  We are trying to figure out who might have the admin writes to our very rudimentary page, but of course WordPress has very limited options for customer service, and so I’m not sure how we’re going to figure it out. Even if we just had an email, that would help.

  We’ve tried emailing our previous interns, but haven’t gotten any info yet.

  Halp :(

  Blogs are not owned by companies, organizations or groups. They are owned solely by the username account that registered the blog and who is the Admin of the blog.

  Note that then original username account and Admin of the blog who owns it can transfer ownership of the blog to another WordPress.com username account.

  If you are not the blog’s owner you will need to contact them on your own and request that your username account be added as an Admin of the blog you want to own.
