Adding a contributor
-
I am having trouble adding a contributor to my blog.
The individual set up a wordpress.com site. I sent them an invitation by email.
They received the invitation, clicked on the link and logged in, but my site is not appearing on their site and neither is their name appearing as a potential author on my site.
I have sent the invitation a number of times, deleting the old ones each time I sent a new one. But for some reason it is not working.
Thanks for any help on this matter.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
1. What is the URL of the WordPress.COM blog you were inviting the person to contribute to please?2. Will you identify which WordPress.COM username account and associated email address was sent the invitation and what the email address is?
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.
The software will redact ie. HIDE the email address so only Staff can see it. After you provide that information re: answer to 1 & 2 please modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff attention, and subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond.

Hi Timethief
Your advice did the trick. Thanks very much. I sent her the invitation link, she clicked on it and logged in to her site, but nothing was happening. Then she logged out.
This time I told her to log into her wordpress account first as you suggested and then click on the link and presto it worked.
Thanks a bunch.
