add new user
-
Hi WP- emailed last week about this issue and didn’t get a response. Please let me know how I can add a new user without adding a new blog. I added new user, got the confirmation email, but it directed me to start a NEW blog rather than become a user of this blog. Please help. Thanks, Andrea

You misunderstood what you read. Yes a new user has to register an account but no they do not need to register a blog when sent an invitation to contribute to one. All they need to do is select the “username account only option”.
Here is what the relevant support doc states:
They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.
Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.
If you are referring to a WordPress.COM hosted blog and are not successful post again and provide all the details including the username and email address of the person who sent the invitation and the URL of the blog. The software will redact ie. HIDE the email address so only Staff can see it. After you do that type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff attention, and subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond.

Hi Andrea,
It is possible to create a username without a blog, but it can be hard to find the link to the right page. I’ve included it for you below:
https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1
If you signup for your new username there and then invite the new user to your blog, you should have better luck.
Let me know if you get stuck.
