  For some unknown historical reason, I have set myself up on WordPress with 2 different usernames and passwords. I have created about half a dozen websites for Penny Collectors and appear to have added/created pages on these websites using both usernames such that when I am logged in as username-1 I am unable to edit a page created by username-2. Is there a straightforward way to bring every page of every site under the control of a single username such that I can delete username-2 and eliminate all these problems ?

  Hi there,

  You can transfer ownership of a site from one account to another:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  So log in as the account you don’t want to keep, and follow that process to transfer each site over to the correct account. This should also reassign the new owner account as the author of all content on the site, and it will remove the old account as a user.

  Once all the sites are transferred, you can see here for how to close your extra account:
