  I have a new (private) blog and have invited several users. They have accepted the invitation but do not show up in the “All Users” tab of the Dashboard. I am the only user that shows up there. The others are visible under the “Invite New” tab but I cannot change their role to contributor.

  Any suggestions?

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

  Viewers you invited to view and comment on your private blog are not the same as Users, who can contribute to your site.

  If you want someone to contribute to your site, you have to invite them as a user. See this Support doc for User Role clarification: http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
