    Dear community members,

    A month ago I created a website for an organization that I work for. Since I’m leaving this job, I would like to transfer the administrative rights to a different user. I have created a new user, sent him an invitation to become an administrator, accepted it, and tried to remove myself from the admins list, but I doesn’t let me do that.

    Please help me solve this problem.
    Thanks!
    Blog url: http://fvol.wordpress.com/

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

    Hi there, Staff can assist you with this. Please be patient while waiting.

    Transfer Note: For security purposes, there is no way to remove the original creator/owner from their blog. As such, if you wish to transfer your blog to another user/account, please follow the instructions here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

    Thanks! But how do I let the staff know about the problem, since I can only ask the community?…

    Can you please confirm the URL of the blog you’d like transferred, and the username of the new owner?

    Best,
    P.
