How to Transfer WordPress to a New Owner's Username

WordPress blogs are often transferred from one admin to the next.

Transferring a site from one administrator to another on WordPress is possible. WordPress is made for multiple users. Whether you are the site "Administrator," "Author," "Editor" or "Subscriber," WordPress has a set of permissions that fits. And when it comes time for a blog or WordPress website to be transferred to a new administrator, the process is quite simple.

Instructions

1. Go to the "Users" section of your WordPress Dashboard. The "Users" link is on the left side of the page between "Plugins" and "Tools."

2. Click "Add New" at the top of the page. Add the username and password of the new administrator, or let the new administrator do so. An email address will be required.

3. Choose "Administrator" from the "Role" drop-down menu at the bottom of the page. Click "Add User."

4. Log out of the WordPress Dashboard, and have the new administrator log in.

5. Go back to the "Users" section of the Dashboard.

6. Check the box next to the previous administrator. Select "Delete" from the "Bulk Actions" drop-down menu, and click "Apply."
