why is an address blocked from receiving an invite?
-
I want to collaborate with someone on this new site, but his username and email are both blocked. I know that he would like to join. I am able to send invites to others.
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What is the email address you’re trying to invite?
If you write it here normally, it will be hidden from all but staff.
-
(email visible only to moderators and staff)
This person also has an account and username with WordPress.
-
There’s definitely nothing under their account that would block this.
What is the URL of the site you’re inviting them to?

Hi there,
What is the exact message you are receiving when you attempt to invite this user’s email to your site? Are you saying you are receiving a message saying that they are blocking invites?
If so, they’ll need to follow the following:
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=cancelat 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 visible only to moderators and staff). To stop receiving them, click here”.
Once this is done, you will be able to receive invite emails again.
Let me know if that works.

“User blocked invites” is the message I get. Ok, I will send that information to him. Thanks very much!
