  Hi
  I’ve be trying to delete a user from our WordPress Site – he used to be an Administrator, but it no longer involved with the site. Each time I’ve tried I get the following error message ‘There was an error removing……’ and don’t seem to be able to find out what the error is.

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

  Hi,

  Was the user you’re trying to remove the site owner? Note that the blog owner’s role cannot be set to anything other than Administrator. If you want to set the blog owner to another role, you’ll need to transfer ownership of the blog to another user first.

  To read more about user roles, there is a support document here:

  Hope this helps :)
