Change site ownership
Permalink
Hello,
I recently took over designing someone's site. I'm trying to get new themes from the community under my account name, but it says the site is registered under the original owner / developer's account.
Is there a way to switch ownership from him to me?
This is the error I get:
You must login with a username that is an owner or editor of this project.
I just started learning concrete5, so I'm sorry if this is an easy fix, I couldn't find it anywhere in the forms.
Thank you for your time,
Damian

you'd need to get access to his account. then click on projects and the site. there should be an option to change the management team there. I don;t think you can change ownership but making you a developer should work.
Hello,
Is there a way I can change ownership with a site in the updated concrete5?

Yes you can - I just followed these instructions and it worked GREAT!
When you connect your site to the concrete5 community, a project page gets made in your user profile. If through some ill fortune this connection is lost, follow these instructions to restore it.
You will need to perform some minor modifications to c5's database. If you are not familiar with phpMyAdmin or modifying databases, be extremely careful or find help.
First you need to disable your cache. If you search "Cache" in the intelligent search, you can go to a page called "Cache & Speed Settings". You want to turn off all the different kinds of cache in there. Once cache is disabled you will have to modify the Config table in your databse, be careful, but the instructions are pretty simple:
Go into phpMyAdmin, most hosting clients have it as a link from cPanel.
Pick your concrete5 database from the list.
Open the table named "Config"
Remove the row MARKETPLACE_SITE_TOKEN and click "go."
Do the same for MARKETPLACE_SITE_URL_TOKEN
Exit phpMyAdmin
Go into your site's Dashboard and go to "Add Functionality"
Click the "Connect To The Community" button and go through that dialog. Your website should be reconnected. You will want to re-enable your cache at this point.

These worked well to remove an old linked community where the login details had been lost. Very easy to follow. Thanks.
Thanks from me too. HBMarketing's instructions worked perfectly!
