There is currently no way to have 2 creator accounts. What you should do is create a new account and promote that account to an Administrator using your creator account. Administrators have the same permissions as the original site creator.Madusha WPC Moderator. 4 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

You could also create a new account, and make that account an administrator, and then cancel the membership of your creator account.

Sign out of Wetpaint, and go to the wiki you would like to join (it could be your own wiki) then click "join this wiki"

This is what I did when I wanted to change my user name. Please read it all before you do this?(1) go to your ISP and create a new E-Mail Address, That’s if you do not have another E-mail address to use. (2) sign on to your site, as you always have, Then Invite yourself using the new E-Mail Address that you have. (3) sign out, open your E-mails using the new E-Mail Address, and there you should see an invite to join your site, you may have to wait for the ISP to download the invite, if you do not see it then come out of Emails, Then open your Emails again. (4) Except the invite to join your site, on the sign up to the invite make sure you enter the user name that you want, in the user name Box, fill the rest of the sign up invite. (5) Close your emails, Sign into your site as you would normally do, so that you can see who as joined, and of course you will see that you have invited yourself. (6) The next thing to do is make the member (Yourself) that used the new E-Mail a Administrator that give the new member (Yourself) all the rights that a creator as. (7) Make Sure that the new you as Administration Rights, Now you can Cancel the membership of your old Self (The Creator) and the creator will not show up in the members list. ----- Hope this Helps I have had to find this out myself, There is another way but I could not get it to work properly And another thing the Creator still exists and there is a way of getting the creator back if you want to, but to do that you must be a Administrator, So The Main Thing Is Make Sure The New You is a Administrator Before you Cancel the membership of the Creator, as above.

"On my wiki, I decided I don't like my username anymore and would like to change. I am the creator. Is there some way I could do this with openID and still be the creator?Well, I don't know why I suddenly decided to change my user name. It was silly of me to consider changing because there is a lot of symbolism behind this name. I will not change. 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

"=) So are you planning 2 be a WPC question answerer? "Yes! Actually, I will balance question answering during the weekdays with my regular activities to try to help people as much as I can. Then, during the weekends, I will spend a lot of time trying to help on some weekends and probably none on others. I won't be full time like you! =) You are seriously always on! 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
