How do I add new users to my blog without them having to create their own blog?

  • Add topic to favorites

  I have sent a series of invites to add new users to my blog, but they are not allowed to sign up through the invite link unless they create their own blog. I just want them to to be able to create WordPress accounts and contribute on my blog. This is how I joined but it no longer seems to be an option.

  It’s still an option. You should instruct new users to select the username only option during sign up. It’s the link that says, “Sign up for just a username.” It’s just below the username option on the sign up page. Note that you won’t see it unless you are viewing the sign up page while logged out of WordPress.com.
