  I was invited to admin a blog from a previous admin. The blog is for a school and was started by an original admin who has since left the school and invited a subsequent admin who also left the school and appointed me. When I try to remove these previous admins it says I don’t have permission to remove them or change their roles. How do I remove them?

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

  Hi there!

  The original admin must log in using the username they used to registered the blog. Then, they must transfer the blog and any upgrades to you. Instructions on how to do that are here:

  After that’s done, you can then delete them, and other admins no longer in the school, from the blog.

  I hope that helps!
