  Hi there. We have a user who created our wordpress website that we need to delete from our users now. I found him in the user section, but obviously since he created the website, there are 197 posts/pages in his user’s name. My question is- if we delete him as a user, will we lose our entire website?

  Hi there,

  If the user is the owner of the site, you’re not able to delete him. You can request him to transfer the blog’s ownership to you and then remove him as a user.

  To transfer the blog ownership:

  Transfer a Site

  To remove him as a user and transfer all his content to another user:

  Do let us know if you have further questions, we’ll be glad to help.
