  I am connected to a blog I no longer wish to be an administrator of — recently broken up with someone. I’ve attempted to remove myself from this blog, yet it will not let me. After several lookings up, each page has proven useless. Either I’m not on the correct page, or that option (to remove myself) is no longer there. Please help me!

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

  What is the URL of the blog you wish to leave? How, exactly, have you attempted to leave it?

  arianightshade.wordpress.com.

  I went under usernames and my blogs list. This is where my search links told me to go. It stated that I should see options to remove myself from this blog. I have not seen this option.

  Does the blog exist in your My Blogs list?

  Even if I could just hide this blog from view, that’d be great. But I don’t see those options.

  There has to be at least one admin on a blog, so if there is another user on that blog, promote them to admin and then you should be able to leave.

  If someone else already IS admin of that blog, I’ll flag this for staff to remove you.

  If you hover your cursor over the name of the blog in Dashboard>My Blogs (not the My Blogs in the WPcom New Dash), does the link to “Leave Blog” appear?

  We are both admin. She added me on as an admin when I joined.

  Not to bore you with details… we are now an ex – couple and I’ve tried removing her from my life. If you could do that, I’d be greatful. Thanks.

  I haven’t seen that option before. that one of the sites I found, and tried following the instructions. I think I just found the incorrect page. I’ll see if the option comes up on the correct page in the morning. Thanks for both of y’alls help.

  I flagged this for staff, and they have enough info to remove you.

  Hi there,

  I removed you from that blog, so you’re all set with that. If you ever need to remove yourself from a blog, you can do that from the My Blogs page here:

  https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs

  Just let me know if I can do anything more to help!
