    I want to change the ownership of one of my blogs and I found some information about doing it online but when I open up the list of sites that I own transfer blog is not listed underneath the blog’s name. All I see is leave the blog. I went in and tried to remove all the administrator’s but I was not able to remove one of them. I think this may be the person that set up the blog originally. I also tried to change her role to no avail. The blog’s address is macmla.wordpress.com

    The blog I need help with is ramblingsofabarrenheart.wordpress.com.

    Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

    You cannot remove the actual owner of the site.

    If you do not have the required access you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them transfer the sites to your username account by using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

    The owner of the site can transfer the site (and/or upgrades) to another account by adding another username account as an Admin. https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator
