  Hi.. I manage a WordPress site (WHNT.com) and I thought I could find the answer to this in our WordPress help links, but I didn’t.

  In the past, when new team members have joined, I create usernames for them and then they confirm, and then I can invite them to our site. However, I can’t find the link to ‘just create a username’ for them any more.

  It used to be on http://wordpress.com/signup but that link redirects now, and I don’t see a link to just create a username.

  Can you help please? The person doesn’t need a full WordPress blog, just a username. Thank you very much.

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

  There’s been a new set up for awhile now that starts with theme selection and selling domains to new users that utterly confounds and annoys me, so I cannot help you.

  However, Staff must have an answer as to how to register a username account only quickly and easily, so I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff response and then subscribe to this thread, so I have the answer for the next blogger who asks this question.

  P.S. re: registering username accounts for others
  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.
