Inviting new users

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’ve invited someone to be an administrator on a blog but the invite doesn’t seem to have worked. Any suggestions? The link in the email loads WordPress.com at which point the user signs in but it doesn’t show the new blog as being added to their profile. Am I doing something wrong?

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

    The person being invited will have to register a username account, if they do not already have one, but they do not need to register a blog. They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.

    Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.

    If that has been done then post the username here and type modlook for Staff help into the sidebar on this thread. Then to subscribe do your are notified when Staff respond look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

    Thank you. I managed to fix it in the end. It needed to be signed into the new person’s account before clicking the link it seems. Either way fixed it now. Have a good weekend.
