  Hi,
  I’ve just set up a private blog (and am new to wordPress). I’ve invited a user to view the new blog. This user has a wordPress account. When the invited user tries to view the blog, they get a message saying the blog is marked private and they need to be invited to view the account. The invited user has cleared their cache.

  I invited the user by going to my Dashboard > Users > Invites, then sent the invite.

  The user created a new account and accepted the invite.

  Have I missed something?

  Thanks

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

  Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a two-step process.

  Now that they’ve created a WordPress.com account, you’ll need to add their username to the list of approved users at Settings -> Privacy in your Dashboard.
