New Admin for Existing Site
-
I would like to take over the admin of an existing (free) site as the previous admin is no longer available or involved.
Could someone please advise what needs to be done?
thank you -
Hi malachyward,
What is the address of the site you need help with?
It’s worth noting the current owner will need to transfer ownership of the WordPress.com site to you — it’s not something we can do without their permission.
Once I know which site you need help with, we can look at the next steps.

The site is https://friendsofyasmar.wordpress.com/
As stated near the bottom of the Friends of Yasmar
https://friendsofyasmar.wordpress.com/about page, under Who we are –“Friends of Yasmar started with assistance from Ashfield Council, and is a recognised sub-committee of The Haberfield Association Inc, …”
The site was established in 2009 by a Haberfield Association member, name unknown, but long departed from the Association.
I am Malachy Ward, the Social Media Coordinator for the Haberfield Association which you can verify on the Association’s website
http://Haberfield.asn.au/about_us which I also administer
So, I would like to take over administration of the Friends of Yasmar website.Can you please advise how I can proceed and if there is any additional information you require?
Thank you

Hi Malachy –
The only way forward in to the account is by providing us with proof of ownership. There’s a few items that we can use, and they are outlined on this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/
The site in question is owned by user account friendsofyasmar. You need to get signed in to that account. Or, try to reset the password.
Do you have contact with the owner of that account? If so, they can pass along the ownership to you directly from their account.
