  I set up a website with an existing WordPress account. Now I want that website to be solely managed by a separate, new WordPress account.

  I’ve now made the new account an administrator and want to remove the former administrator from the website. But whenever I try to, it says there was a problem.

  Any ideas why this keeps happening?

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

  Hi there!

  You can’t remove the owner of the site, in this case I think you have to transfer your site to another WordPress.com account. Please check the link below to see if it works for you:
