Invited user accepts, cannot see blog

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have a private blog – invite only. I have two different WordPress user accounts. I used my oacait account to send an invitation to my other account. Here’s what I do:

    1. Log in using administrator account.
    2. Go under the users menu and select Invite New.
    3. Send an invitation to my other account, selecting Viewer as role.
    4. Log out of my administrator account.
    5. Check my email.
    6. Click the button in my email to accept invitation.
    7. Log into my viewer account.

    At this point, shouldn’t my viewer account be able to see my private blog? It doesn’t show up under the older (other) account’s dashboard or My Blogs section. When I sign back into my private blog’s dashboard and check the Invite New page, the invitation’s status is Waiting.

    I have resent the invitation to my viewer account and tried logging in again. It brings me to a main “view blogs” screen. When I go into my dashboard, it shows that I’m not viewing any blogs. I try to add my oacait blog again (using the url http://oacait.wordpress.com) and nothing happens. The screen doesn’t refresh. There is no reaction from the WordPress page other than the button reacting to my clicking.

    Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something?

    Just to clarify: I have two WP accounts. One is my private blog (oacait) and the other is a regular account. I’ve sent an invitation to the regular account from my oacait account. My regular account accepts the invitation. I can’t view the private blog. In the private blog’s dashboard, the regular account’s invitation shows as “Waiting.”

    Does anyone have any ideas that I can try?

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

    I fixed this one by myself.

    I deleted the user (deleted the invitation).

    I re-added the user, sent the invitation again, and it worked! I think there must’ve been something goofy with the first invitation.

    Wow! That’s freaky but I’m so glad to hear it worked. Happy New Year!
