  Hi there,
  I was a little slow to respond to this conversation where there was a discussion about transferring the admin capabilities for this account.
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/renewing-our-blog-1?replies=13#post-2684566

  Would it be possible to transfer ALL admin capabilities permanently to Nadia Minian ( (email visible only to moderators and staff) ) and remove me from the account.

  Thank you!
  Jessica

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

  Hi there,

  Only the current owner can transfer ownership, but you can do that here:

  https://pregnetsblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs

  Hover your mouse over the site title and the Transfer Blog option should appear. Add the username or email of the new owner and just follow the steps on the screen.

  Please let me know if you need any more help with this.

  Thanks for your help.

  When I hover over the site title, I get the option to “leave blog” but it doesn’t allow me to transfer to anyone specific. The person I would like to transfer it to is a current administrator. If I leave, will they get full admin power?

  Thanks!

  It looks like you have another username on the site, and THAT username is the owner: jessicapennercamh

  The username you’re logged in as at the moment is an admin on the site but not the owner, and can only leave the blog, not transfer it. You’ll need to log in as the other username to transfer ownership of the site.

  Sorry, I should have spotted this yesterday :)
