  Hi there!

  It is really easy to do once you know how, but took me some time to figure out as well.

  All you need to do is click on the ‘Users’ tab on the left bar of your dashboard, and add your client as a user. You will just fill in all of their details in the bars.

  One crucial step to remember though, is that you must make sure that your client’s profile is set as ‘Admin’ so that they have full access. NOT subscriber or any of the others.

  Hope this helps!

  Hi there @mihai308 you can add them to the site by following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site and then transfer the site to them by following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  Hi @riaanwebdev just a quick note, these are the support forums for WordPress.com, and there are some key differences between how WordPress.com and how WordPress.org, which you’re describing, operate: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
