  Hi, I need to change some user roles, but on the people page it will not allow me select any of the followers or viewers, only the admin team. How can I fix this?
  Thanks.

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

  Hi there,

  You can’t change the role of followers or viewers. You can only change the roles of Administrators, Editors, Authors and Contributors.

  To change the Viewer or Follower to any other roles you have to invite them with new role selected.
