I am the office manager of a small inn in Mammoth Lakes, CA. We hired a web designer to setup a website for us using WordPress. The relationship did not end amicably. He is still listed as the sole administrator on the site, and we need to change that. What to do?

To add another admin: Go to your Dashboard, click Users, and then add a new user with the administrator role. Log out, and then log in with the new admin account. If the new admin account works, you may delete the old one if you don’t want it.

Also, to familirize yourself, try reviewing info in these useful codex:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Users_Screen
http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels

I’m sorry, but I don’t see a user button in my Dashboard. I see where it should be thanks to the codex you provided, but it doesn’t exist on my screen.

I am sorry, I don’t follow – what button.

What theme are you using?

You will not be able to change this unless you can log into the database at your host.
