  How do I unblock invitations on my account? Whenever my students try to add me as an editor or administrator for their blogs, they get a message saying “Invitation not sent, the user has blocked invite emails.” Help! I need to be able to edit their content. Thanks.

  Hi there,

  This is likely a result of having clicked the link in an invite email that blocks future invite emails. The following steps should allow you to receive invites from WordPress.com again:

  1. On https://subscribe.wordpress.com/ enter the email address used on WordPress.com and click on “Request details”.
  2. You will receive an email titled “[Subscribe] Your Subscription Details” containing a link looking like this: https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?key=a111b222&email=wp%wp.com.
  3. Copy that link in your browser address and add &unsub_invites&option=cancel at the end.
  4. You should get a line that looks like https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?key=a111b222&email=wp%wp.com&unsub_invites&option=cancel — click enter to load it.
  5. A confirmation message will appear: “You will now receive invite emails again at (email visible only to moderators and staff). To stop receiving them, click here”.

  Unfortunately, this is a bit of a workaround as we sort out a better way to undo blocked invites. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks,
  Michael
