Accept invitation via email invite not working
-
hi,
i have sent invitation for people to follow my blogs. i received an email from a couple of them that “Just so that you are aware – that link ‘accept invitation’ does not work. I tried it several times, ended up having to click on your name and enter my email that way.”

I’m having a similar issue where I sent out a user invitation by entering their email but they never received the email. The person even tried to create an account with WP but never received the activation email either.

I am trying to accept an invitation to http:/leesbirdbb4kids.com and it doesn’t have anything after I click accept that connects to her blog.
http://guestwriterdd.wordpress.com is mine. -

It is not working for me also…users are complaining me that nothing happens after clicking accept invitation link.
I think this is a bug with wordpress blog and the devs should fix it asap as it effect their users in a big way..
I wish if someone from wordpress team could comment on the timeline to fix this issue..

If you look at the bottom of the invitation, there is also a full link to accept the invite if clicking on the button doesn’t work.
-
No, there is not any. It just says: Thanks for flying with WordPress.com
Do you think any of the users will click on this?

Not to doubt your word, but here is a screenshot of an invite I recently received to be a contributor on a WordPress.com website. I’ve highlighted the link I’m referring to.

I have the same problem. sending out an invitation. The email is received, but clicking on ‘Access Invitation’ does not create any reaction. I tried on different computers and with different email addresses. Does not work.
Hovering over the link pops up a help window showing
htpps://subscribe.wordpress.com? key=…….(and a lot more characters)
I also cannot copy this hyperlink. -

Could there be two issues in question? Invitation to view a private site and invitation to become a contributor? That may account for the discrepancy in the email format. I don’t have an answer for the link/s not working, unfortunately.

It could be.
I’m going to tag this thread for staff attention. Please be patient while they get back to us.

Yes, the two (Viewer vs. regular user) invites are quite different and actually a separate system.
If you run into trouble with the link, try re-sending the invitation.

To make it clear: I have issues with inviting followers. The link
- Accept Invitation
is part of the invitation email that the invited potential followers receive. And it does not work. You can click it as much as you like and nothing happens.
And there is no other option on the email to accept the invitation.
I have found a labour intense work-around:
I have installed the ‘Follow Blog: Mailing List’ on my web site. http://www.communityenergy.wordpress.com (=www.communityenergy.org).
I can enter an invitees email address into the mailing list field myself. The invited person receives an invitation email and everything is following the standard procedure from here without problems. It is just more labour intense and I have to send a personalized invitation first by normal email to prevent confusion. -

another correction:
the link must read: http://www.cccommunityenergy.wordpress.com
and http://www.cccommunityenergy.org
