  Hi!
  I really need to remove an admin from mu blog, because we’re renewing it.
  I try to do it from the ‘User’ page, but it gives me an error.

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

  Hi Ccyclove
  i just tried to remove a fictive user from one of my blogs
  i just clicked on “remove” above the name and i got a confirmation button that finally removed the user.
  could you explain more precisely where you clicked and what error message you got ?
  thank you !

  Hi there,

  The reason you would have trouble removing administrators is if you are not an administrator yourself or if the administrator you’re trying to remove is the owner of the account. If that is the case, the owner will need to transfer ownership of the blog over to another admin, which will automatically remove them as a user of the site.
  You can find more information on user roles here:

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
