  I have 2 bloggers who have requested to view my blog but I haven’t received the requests. I then tried to invite them using their blog login names but they didn’t receive the invitations. Is there a limit? Or is something broken? Or is one of my settings wrong? I want them to be able to view it but I don’t want to make it public.

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

  There is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
  See here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  As noted above they need accounts but do not need to register blogs. 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.

  The limit is 10 invitations at any point in time. It’s a spammer prevention limit. So simply wait and then send out 10 more.

  I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Will you please provide a couple of usernames for those WordPress.com bloggers who did not receive the email invitations as well as a couple of email addresses for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts? The software will redact ie. HIDE the email addresses so only Staff can see them. After you do that subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there,

  As @timethief mentioned, if you could please let me know what the username or email addresses are of the people who you invited to view your blog but didn’t get the invitation, I will take a look and see what I can find out!

  Thanks.
