  I’m trying to add a new author to my blog at opinionatedgamers.com, and when I try to add the user, the system does not send an invitation but instead tells me that “user already has a role on your site”. But I cannot find the user in my userlist nor can she log into the dashboard of my site… help?

  Whatever happened to the option to directly add users without having to invite them?

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

  Hi. The option to invite users has changed indeed. Please refer to the new procedure:

  Question: is the person already a follower? Maybe that would explain why they have a “role” already and it’s a question of upgrading them from “follower” to “contributor” (or whatever role you prefer).
