[Solved]How to remove an Admin

Post by jasnick »

An Admin has retired from one of my sites. I am still the main Admin. I tried to delete the user but keep getting an error message: This user still owns content pages. Please change ownership .....

However, this user owns no pages, I am the listed owner for all pages on this site.

Is there another way to delete this user?

Thanks

expand all sections
select all pages

at the bottom: with the selected > Change owner
set owner to you.

If you still get an error when trying to delete that user: change his password and e-mailaddress so he won't have access to the website anymore.
