  New (invited) users receive the email, but then have to register a new login. No instructions were provided, so I created them. Now the users are logged in, but not connected to our website…they are supposed to have the EDITOR role, but they aren’t connected at all…

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

  The person being invited will have to register a username account, if they do not already have one, but they do not need to register a blog. They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.

  Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.
