I'd like to have protected sections for different users. Some users share one section. I don't like to generate a password for each user.

Is it possible to share 1 user between many persons?
Where are the problems (technical) with that?

I know i can't change a password then, but there isn't any really secure data on that section.

No there is not. However, there is a limitation on how many invitations you can send at any point in time. That limit is ten (10) and it's in place as a spammer prevention. Send 10 invitations - wait - send out 10 more.

Is there a limit to the number of contributers/authors a blog can have?

I've set up a blog for a creative writing class to post on. I want to know if it's possible to send an email to all invited users through the WordPress dashboard? Thanks for the help!

Hello, I've sent an invitation to a user to be a contributor to my site. The user is showing up on the page Dashboard > Users > Invite New as a contributor (invitation accepted) but is not showing up on the Users page Dashboard > Users > All Users.

I'm using Chrome 26.0.1410.65 on Mac OSX 10.6.8. I've tried this in Firefox to see if its browser-specific, but the user doesn't show up there either. Have also emptied my cache and cleared all cookies, and the problem is still present.

lorelle — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:21:25 +0000

For information on how to add users (authors and contributors) to your site and set their user permissions, see User Roles — Support — WordPress.com.

Contributor allows access and the ability to add content but not publish it. It must be published by the Editor or Administrator.

WordPress.com offers a free feature to request "feedback" on a post before publishing it, giving the invited guest a link to see the draft of the post. See Request Feedback — Support — WordPress.com.

Also check out the extensive series on managing multiple authors in WordPress if you need more information and details. For example, some WordPress Themes will feature the author bio at the bottom of their posts and on the author pageview (the web page showing the author posts from the link around their byline). There are also author Widgets to feature the authors in the sidebar available.

Thanks and good luck with your project.

I need help understanding how to add authors to my company's blog posts. I manage our blog and post everything, but I want to add more segmentation and attach authors to each post, without having them actually make the post. I then need the author name to function as a link that would feed back to the authors page or all previous posts from that author. I have read a number of articles, but the entire process is still confusing to me. Looking for some assistance if possible. Thank you

@blackbutterfly768, I'm glad you were able to get this resolved!

@rachaelbs, it's hard to say without your account information. It sounds like you have two accounts, one which was invited to view your friend's blog and one which was not. You may find the following support document helpful if you need to reset your password because you can't log in to one of those accounts:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

If you continue to experience problems logging in and/or seeing your blogs, can you please create a new topic in the general Support forum?
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/support/

This forum is specifically for issues with Themes, and the staff in general support are more experienced with solving login issues than I. :)

Hi. I'm the person. I was able to log in to get here with my email and then my password - however, it did not show all the other blogs I subscribe to - in fact, it showed I don't subscribe to any - yet yesterday I got an update from one of them that showed all of them, some I tried to delete a long time ago.

Anyway, I was able to sign in to you with the same email and password that I used for blackbutterfly as well as another blog where I go. However, I can't get into her chat. First it asks for my name - no matter what name I put, when I put in the password it says it is wrong and asks for my email and password. This time I put the email and password and got a thing saying if I wanted to view it, to request and invitation. It said I was logged in under a different name though, but when I tried to get there by that name I had the same thing happen. Anyway, maybe this time it will work?

Okay, just want to let you know that I spent hours going through the support forums, and eventually read a message that instructed to empty the cache. I deleted temporary internet files and everything is now working fine. If anyone else runs into this problem using wordpress.com, hopefully it can be resolved by deleting temporary internet files.

After searching support forums about the "not connected to Word Press server" problem, it appears that no one has resolved the problem unless their blog is through .org.

I am very frustrated now and don't know what to do to resolve it. How can a blog run for months without any problem, and suddenly develop this one out of the blue?

blackbutterfly768 on "Need help with private blog"

blackbutterfly768 — Tue, 07 May 2013 07:13:51 +0000

Now, I am able to post new posts, can enter admin and also upload media. However, when I try posting responses to comments, a message appears that says P2 is not connected to the Word Press server.

I checked for discussion of the problem in WP forums, but they did not appear to be resolved.

Sixhours, thanks again. Seems to me that she should be able to sign-in through her word press account and WALLA! I've never been asked for a handle when signing-in, so am at a lost.

Thanks for your time and concern.

sixhours on "Need help with private blog"

sixhours — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:10:05 +0000

That's definitely strange. :) Well, if you (or your friend) continue to experience problems, please post and I'll be happy to investigate!

blackbutterfly768 on "Need help with private blog"

blackbutterfly768 — Tue, 07 May 2013 01:52:42 +0000

Thanks for the response, sixhours. I've not tried re-adding yet because she seems to have problems signing into that private blog through her wordpress account -- says it won't accept her handle, so she used another one.

Somehow, when she first did that, she was able to enter and post responses, but not start a discussion. Neither did she have privileges of an "author" to edit and delete her comments. Also, she did not appear under "users." She did not appear as anyone who had been sent an invitation to accept or pending. That did concern me.

Then she contacted me on Saturday asking if she had been banned, because she wasn't able to sign-in at all. I sent her another invitation and it went through because she was not appearing as having been sent an invitation previously. After she accepted is when all other users could no longer post, and her handle appeared under "settings" "discussion" as a user. Once I deleted that, others were able to post.

It's a weird situation.

Hmm, that sounds normal, as no users are supposed to be displayed under Settings -> Discussion, only the Users menu.

I'm not sure why adding one user would have impacted comments for the rest, though. Are you able to re-add her successfully, and still have everyone able to post comments?

blackbutterfly768 on "Need help with private blog"

blackbutterfly768 — Tue, 07 May 2013 00:46:13 +0000

Howdy sixhours! Thanks for the response.
I can see all users that have accepted invitation. It's under "settings" and "discussions" that it tells me there are no users. It is also in that place where yesterday, it had the one user listed and no one else could post comments until I deleted her.

sixhours on "Need help with private blog"

sixhours — Mon, 06 May 2013 19:00:30 +0000

Howdy! If you go to your Dashboard, then to Users -> All Users, you should see everyone listed there. Is that not the case?

blackbutterfly768 — Mon, 06 May 2013 03:24:05 +0000

Timethief. Thank you. Subscribed and am patient. After deleting that one individual appearing as the only user, under settings and discussion, other users can post. However, the program does say that the blog has no users.

The blog I'm having problems with is private. I'm using the P2 theme. Things were going along smoothly, and then one person I invited accepted the invitation, but was not showing as a "user." I sent her another invitation and she showed as THE ONLY USER. Now, no one can post comments. As administrator, I can neither post comments. The program will not allow me to resend invitations to those who are already members. It gives an error message that they are already users.

All users with the exception of myself as administrator are registered as "authors."

Checking under "settings" and "discussions" the program says that I have no users.

Can this be easily resolved, or will I have to delete all current users and send another invitation?

Hi, thanks for the follow up and your hint to the solution: it was simple: I didn't add the right widget. Now I added the 'Author' widget and everything works fine :-)
Thanks again for your support!
Have a good time,
Bye

And I find no option in the theme to show the users or the numbers of users at least...

There is no such setting.

Hi timethief, thanks for your reply. Yes, they did, I think. I tried it by myself a few minutes ago.
- l got the invitation email
- I accepted
- I logged in registrating a new wordpress account
- I pressed 'accept' again
And now I see my new avatar in the dashboard as like all the other users, but this doesn't appear on the blog site, too.
Not in the side bar, nowhere. And I find no option in the theme to show the users or the numbers of users at least...
:-(

timethief — Fri, 03 May 2013 18:14:40 +0000

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.

timethief — Fri, 03 May 2013 18:13:46 +0000

Have they accepted the invitations and registered username accounts, assuming they did not have one?
