Is it possible to transfer a blog to a new user?

WriteFreely Instance Admins

I’m self-hosting a multi-user instance, freely.modspil.dk.

Would it be possible to transfer on of my blogs to a different user? I can’t seem to find it in the user interface.

There’s no way to transfer a blog to another user in WriteFreely, but maybe that’s something we could allow. Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you want to transfer blogs to another user, instead of e.g. creating a new blog on your account, or changing your username?

Hi,

thanks for getting back!

my specific use case is that I’ve been reposting a daily newsletter by another writer for some time, and he offered to update it himself when I’m off for some reason … and because of that I wanted to create a new user and transfer the blog to him to avoid sharing my (admin) password and account with him.

Now he seems to have found a new and better home for the newsletter and so it will soon be less relevant, but I imagine similar situations could arise for other people.
