  The original admin user that first set up our blog is no longer contributing to the blog. Because of this, we would like to remove that user’s admin status. When I try to do that in the dashboard, I get an error saying that I don’t have permission to remove that user. What is the recommended way to remove that user? Ideally I would prefer to do this without needing the other person invoked, but if need be I could probably contact him.

  The admin user that we want to remove is coachdanhuff ((email visible only to moderators and staff)).

  Thanks.

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

  You can not remove the blog owner from a site – they need to transfer the blog to another account – that will also remove them from the blog
