User blocked invites?
-
Someone tried to invite me to their site but got the error ‘User blocked invites’ – how do I unblock it?
Thanks

Hi there, check your account page at https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions and at the very bottom of that page, uncheck the box next to Block all email updates from blogs you’re following on WordPress.com
Let us know how that goes.

After doing some additional research, if my above suggestion does not solve your blocked invite issue, please try the following instruction from Staff at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/user-blocked-invites-3/#post-3319797
Here are the instructions to unblock invite emails:
1. On https://subscribe.wordpress.com/ enter the email address used on WordPress.com and click on “Request details”. (The user needs to be logged out to see the box.)
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 this:
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 redacted). To stop receiving them, click here”.
Once this is done, you will be able to receive invite emails again.
Again, let us know how that goes.

I tried both options and they didn’t work, I didn’t have the checkbox selected for any blocking options so there was nothing to uncheck.
On the second option, I did not see the confirmation message after entering that URL.

I’ve unblocked invitation emails for your account. Please ask the owner of the other site to invite you again.
