Problem with adding people
-
I had invited 2 people to an older site which i deleted. Now when i try to invite them to the new site it will not except them. Why is that? like part of my team.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We need relevant details to be able to help you.
What are the wordpress.COM usernames these people, please?
I’m going to post the full process below.
You can have either a public or a private WordPress.COM hosted blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. Contributors cannot upload images. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
To change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
Then see:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-viewers-to-a-private-siteUsername accounts are required but registering blogs under them is not required. The invitees will have to register a WordPress.COM username account which requires an email address only, but they do not need to register a blog. That requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official users and allow access only to those with username accounts and official roles on the blog.
If the person being invited to contribute to your blog does not already have one, he or she will have to register a WordPress.COM username account. He or she does not need to register a blog. There is a just a username please option. The invitees who lack username accounts select the “username only” option here: https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1
NOTE that as you have an account you would have to log out and clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies to witness the process as the invitees without accounts would experience it.
Upon receipt of the invitation, the invitee will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If the invitee is logged into their WordPress.com username account, he or she will be taken directly to your blog. If not, he or she will be taken to the log-in screen, where he or she can either log in, or can register a new WordPress.COM user account.
The invitees need to be logged into their WordPress.com account prior to clicking the “Accept Invitation” link.
Note that invitees who do 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.
Lastly, there is a built-in spammer prevention so send out only 10 invitations at one point in time and then wait and manage those before sending out 10 more.

To be exact i would like my husband and our best friend as administrator as well. Also i tried to invite our friend again and it says oops your invite is not valid. So i went to search under users and i could not find them. so tried all users then search and still i could not find them. Im not angry just frustrated. We started with @kennedyclanblog. But our friend said that it would take way too long to transfer all the millions of files. so i deleted that site and started over on our next project and now well you know.
have a great day -
Do they have WordPress.com accounts? And if so, are they logged into those accounts before clicking the link in the invitation email?
-
Yes they are but for some reason will not except any of their passwords. a very dear friend of ours in Northern Ireland is a organizer for wordpress and he said that the wordpress.com was different.
This here is the one that we see and Our friend saw.

He has made a website for us a few years ago but we had deleted it after 4 years. It was a great site. So im just wondering if maybe unregister and start over? Thank you for replying. Driving me nuts. My friend has no time right now because of the word camp in London and Austria as well as organizing the one in Belfast. -
WordPress.com is different from WordPress.org. So if they are using a password for an old self-hosted WordPress.org site, that will not work:

If someone cannot remember the login information for a WordPress.com account, your best bet is to try the account recovery process here:
https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery
Due to the private nature of information required for account recovery and the public nature of these forums, we cannot help with account recovery here.
