Can't add new user/administrator
-
I set up a blog for a client, and now want to add her as an administrator. I sent her an invitation. The email she received said:
To accept this invitation you will need to:
1. Sign up for a WordPress.com account. You can also sign in with your existing WordPress.com if you already have one.
2. Accept Invitation.
I signed out of WordPress.com, opened her email, and clicked Accept Invitation. I get this error message:
Whoops, you can’t use an activation key you’ve created for someone else. You are currently logged in as journeyabetterweigh. If you would like to accept this invitation using another account, please log out first.
She also gets this error message, even when we’re signed out of WordPress and she’s trying it from her computer at home.
So I tried sending one to myself with a different email. This one just had a link to accept the invitation. Hmmm. . . . . .
When I accepted the invitation and signed into WordPress, I didn’t get the error message. However, my invitation wasn’t accepted, and I wasn’t added as a user under my other name.
I tried inviting my client as both an administrator and an editor. All 3 invitations say they haven’t been accepted yet (they have!)
I’ve seen in other posts that there’s a place to sign up for a wordpress.com user name and password without creating a blog. The link in my client’s invitation only takes her to the page where you sign up for a blog. There’s no way to create just a user name and password.
Suggestions will be appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That is the correct page. There will be an option where she does not have to start a blog with her username account.
