  By accident my friend created her new personal blog while I was still logged onto my own account on wordpress.com. This resulted in her blog being under my profile/username. Obviously, she needs her own account but we don’t want to lose the site address she chose. How can I transfer her blog to her own personal profile page without losing the site name and/or having any connection to my account?

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

  This will help Thanks!

  I do have a question. We will be making her a new account without me being logged in. However, it wants us to create a domain name as a part of the sign up for her. Since she accidentally created the domain name she wants under my profile, obviously, it will be unavailable as we sign her up. So, do I take any blog domain name just for now for it to change?. Will she be able to obtain her original domain name from the transfer? Or will she be stuck never being able to have that domain name on her own?

  Last question, currently I show up as the owner of the profile containing her blog. After the transfer will I still show up as the owner of the profile?

  Only asking because of the giant warning stating that my actions can’t be undone. I want to make sure I’m doing it 100% correctly.

  Thank you!

  HI again,
  Yeah, you can make a new account with a new email and an username, and make sure while transferring you use the correct email and username of the right person. Also yes you can temporarily create a domain, you can have multiple domains under one account, yes the blog and the domain would be transferred. After the transfer, the new user will be the owner of the profile. Let me know how it goes, would be happy to assist you ahead..!
