    Hi. I have several questions:
    1. My friend and I are managing the website/blog together. She has put her username and email in but I want to add something to the blog. How do I make it show that it was me who wrote it not her?
    2. there is a tab at the top that says ‘NO LINKS’ how do I get rid of this?
    3. we have a few people who have ‘subscribed’. These people are not getting emails when the blog or events page is updated, etc. How do we make that happen.

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hello!

    For your first question, your friend should go to the site’s Dashboard and from the menu select Users -> Add New

    From there he can invite you via email to be a contributor to the site by selecting one of the available roles. You can learn more about roles here

    Hi there,

    Can you confirm what site you’re speaking of?

    http://motherearthminute.org/ is not hosted with us on WordPress.com, just connected here via the Jetpack plugin, and your account is the only account with a Jetpack connection to that site.

    Support for your version of WordPress is provided by the WordPress.org community in their forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/. Here in the WordPress.com forums we can only help with issues directly related to the Jetpack connection and your WordPress.com account.

    1. My friend and I are managing the website/blog together. She has put her username and email in but I want to add something to the blog. How do I make it show that it was me who wrote it not her?

    Regardless what version of WordPress you’re using, to have different authors show for different pieces of content, you need separate user accounts on the site. You can find the documentation explaining user roles and how to add new users for your version of WordPress here:

    https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/

    2. there is a tab at the top that says ‘NO LINKS’ how do I get rid of this?

    That’s a Call to Action button that’s included in your site’s menu. Something like that would be added by your theme, so you’ll need to contact support for the theme you’re using directly for help on how to remove that. We don’t make the theme you have active on that site, so we have no information on how it works.

    It looks like you’re using Bluehost’s website builder plugin, so Bluehost support should be able to help you with this.

    3. we have a few people who have ‘subscribed’. These people are not getting emails when the blog or events page is updated, etc. How do we make that happen.

    The only subscription option I see on that site is for a newsletter signup. Newsletter signup forms allow you to collect email addresses for a mailing list, which then lets you manually send out newsletters to subscribers. That does not let people subscribe to new posts on your site.

    To have people get notifications when you publish a new blog post, you need a blog subscription plugin. You already have that in Jetpack, but you have the Subscriptions option in Jetpack disabled at the moment.

    To enable that, go to Settings >Discussion here on WordPress.com. At the bottom of the page, toggle the Subscriptions module to on.

    Once you do that, you can add Jetpack’s subscription form block to your site, which will allow people to sign up for email notifications for new posts.

    Note that anyone who signs up will also need to confirm their subscription before they’ll start receiving emails. And they will also only receive emails each time a new blog post is published on the site. Jetpack does not send out email notifications when a static page like your Events page is published or updated.
