  Hi!!
  The ‘owner’ of the site, my daughter has an old email address listed on the site under owner and I have added myself as a team member/administrator and now I want to take over the ownership of the web site. I have accepted the invite sent to me from the web site. I can not follow the instructions as there is no Transfer site to another user button/link under ‘site tools’. Is there another way to do this??

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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