  The administrator of a WP page is trying to add me as an administrator so I can add pages, etc. He is inviting me correctly, as an administrator, but when I accept the invitation, I am only being added as a contributor? What is the problem?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Once you’ve accepted the invitation (and see that you are only a contributor), ask the existing administrator to double check that you do in fact have administrator permissions. If not, he can adjust your permissions.

  Here’s an article that shows you to change permissions for an existing user. https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#changing-user-roles

  Let us know if this works for you.
