Adding Users

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there, If I have someone trying to add me as a user but I am not a part of their organization, it looks like they need to check a box that says “this user is a contractor, freelancer, consultant, or agent” for the email to come through to my inbox. I’ve noticed some accounts don’t have that checkbox and I don’t receive the email they are trying to send. Is there any way to rectify this?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  • Hey there,

    Checking “this user is a contractor, freelancer, consultant, or agent” does not change the user’s permissions in any way. It’s just a way for the site owner to keep track of users who are not part of the organization. Checking this box would not be required in order to invite you to the site.

    Can you clarify what email the site owners are trying to send that you are not receiving?

    Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you.

    @staff-dragon when they send the invitation it does not come through to my email. Their page looks like this which is different from my account so I can’t replicate the issue from my account.

  • Hi there,

    The only site we see under your account is https://megcareye47a3e017a.wordpress.com/

    Are you referring to a second site you are working on? The screenshot you shared seems to be from a totally different site, and shows that the Elementor plugin is in use. I can confirm there is no Elementor plugin present on https://megcareye47a3e017a.wordpress.com/ so I’m hoping you can share the URL of the site you are needing help with, thanks.

    This is for a client’s site. We use this process to be authorized on our client’s sites and it is not working. What is the Elementor plugin? Is this something I need to enable?

  • Hey there,

    The Elementor plugin is in no way required. It sounds like you are looking to have the client add you to a site other than https://megcareye47a3e017a.wordpress.com/. Can you provide the URL for the site they are trying to invite you to? Thanks!

  • Hi there,

    I’ve taken the time to look into your website and noticed that it’s actually using the WordPress.org software and is hosted by a different provider.

    WordPress.org is the same foundational software we use here at WordPress.com, but it’s set up a little differently. Because of this, the specific help you may need can be different. To get the most appropriate help for your issue, I’d recommend posting your question in the official WordPress.org support forums, which you can find here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

    That said, I would also like to mention an alternative for you. You can migrate your website to WordPress.com. We are a managed-hosting platform, which means we take care of all the maintenance and security tasks so that you can focus on creating content for your website. We also offer dedicated WordPress support through both email and live chat to ensure your questions or issues are handled promptly and efficiently.

    If this sounds like something that could interest you, we’ve built an easy-to-use tool specifically for migrating WordPress sites from other platforms to WordPress.com. You can learn more about how to use this tool here: https://wordpress.com/support/import-using-move-to-wordpress-com/

    You can also take a look at our various plans and what they offer on this page: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    If you have any other questions or if there’s anything else you’d like to discuss, don’t hesitate to let me know.
