  We have invited a new user as an author to the blog. He accepted the invitation but his name is not listed on the list of authors. The username is hamzaa33.

  Thank you

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

  I see the user hamzaa33 listed in your users here:

  https://hakwarablog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?role=author

  Do you not see them?

  @mich124114 – can you please tell me what site you’re having trouble with and at least one username that isn’t appearing in your list.

  Thanks! It looks like that user hasn’t accepted the invitation yet:

  https://ladietadeldottormozzi.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=wpcom-invite-users

  Once they accept the invitation to your site, they’ll appear in your users list.

  thank you for your feedback. the invitation email states “to accept you will need to
  1) Signup for a WordPress.com account. …
  2) accept invitation

  does it mean that someone who was invited to become a user/author of my blog / site needs first to sign up to be able to accept the invitation?

  if so is there another way to make the acceptance process a one step process only?
  thank you

  Hi there,

  Sorry for the delay, Shawna has been out of the office.

  The process is only a single step if they already have a WordPress.com account, they just have to accept the invitation. If they do not, they have to create their account and then accept it. We do not currently have any way to make it a one-step process entirely. The user must both create an account and explicitly accept the invitation.
