  I hope somebody can help me with this. I run two websites I have created with WordPress. One of those websites is about Las Vegas. I don’t have the time to continue to keep this website up to date and we won’t be travelling to Vegas in the next couple of years so I won’t be able to create a lot of new content. A friend of mine and fellow Vegas enthousiast would like to continue this website. He also has a website running through WordPress. I would like to transfer my website to his account, complete with domain names, etc.

  Can anybody help me and tell how to do this. I have no clue…

  Thank you in advance.

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

  Hi there,

  If you want to transfer a blog and you also own a custom domain on the same blog, you will first need to transfer the domain to the blog’s new owner before you’ll be able to transfer ownership of the blog itself. You can find the instructions to do that here.

  Here is a link from our support page that will walk you through transferring the site:

  Hope that helps.
