I was invited to this blog and was made an administrator. I do not own the blog. I am no longer in contact with the owner. How do I leave? The instructions on how to leave a site do not apply to administrators. The instructions on how to transfer a site only apply to owners.

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

If you want to leave a .wordpress.COM hosted blog you have been made an official user of by way of invitation you can use the leave a blog option. http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#leave-a-blog

If you want to leave a .wordpress.ORG hosted blog see: Disconnect Jetpack Sites https://en.support.wordpress.com/disconnect-jetpack-sites/

As I indicated in my original post, the leave a blog instructions do not include administrators, only contributors, authors etc. But thanks anyway!

Hi @theresanicholson, can you let us know what blog you’re leaving? We’ll try it from our end.

Hi supernovia,

I am trying to leave https://jenniferhaleyportfolio.wordpress.com/

However, this will be a recurring problem as I am regularly added as adminstrator to student blogs, which I then later need to leave. Surely WordPress has a simple way of achieving this? I would like to be able to simply go to the site, and leave myself, but I cannot find any instructions on how to do this unless you are a contributor, or author. Are there some instructions somewhere that I just can’t find?

Thank you,
Theresa

I’ve confirmed what you’re seeing and am bringing this up with our developers. Do you want me to remove you in the meantime, or do you want to leave it as is until you can change the setting yourself?

Could you remove me please? Will you get back to me when there is an option added for adminstrators (but not owners) to remove themselves from a site?

Many thanks,
Theresa
