  Hello,
  I’d like add an admin to my website, but this personn don’t have a WordPress account. I send her an invitation, but when she validates she can’t register without creating her own blog. And she doesn’t want her own separate blog, just access to mine.
  How can we do to fix it please?
  Thank you

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

  I would just sign up for one then either make the blog private (so essentially it doesn’t exist) or delete it after you’ve set-up the account.

  If the person being invited to contribute to your blog does not already have one, he or she will have to register a WordPress.COM username account. Note that he or she does not need to register a blog. There is a just a username please option.

  Username accounts are required but registering blogs under them is not required. The invitees who lack username accounts select the “username only” option here: https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1

  Note that you would have to log out and clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies to witness the process as the invitees without accounts would experience it.

  Upon receipt of the invitation the invitee will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If the invitee is logged into their WordPress.com username account, he or she will be taken directly to your blog. If not, he or she will be taken to the log-in screen, where he or she can either log in, or can register a new WordPress.COM user account.

  Also note that invitees who do 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.
