Remove old site owner / administrator
-
We have a WordPress.Com hosted site; three staff members have full administrator rights.
The site was created by a former staff member who likely is the site “owner”. As a result, we cannot remove this individual as an administrator/user, which means they still have access to our site.
Because of the nature of the severed employment relationship, it would be awkward to involve this person in transferring ownership. Is there any way we can do this without them?
Thank you!

Hi there, the site’s owner cannot be removed, and only the site’s owner can transfer ownership to another administrator.
I recommend getting in touch with them, and they will need to follow the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/
Please let us know if you have any more questions!
