Adding a user without setting up a new blog
-
Hi,
I am trying to create a new user to author a blog, however when they receive an email to sign up they are asked to create a new blog. We do not want to do this for each person so how can I set up a new user to post on our blog without setting a new blog up under their name?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
however when they receive an email to sign up they are asked to create a new blog.
They can reject, only an account is necessary.
-
If they reject, then they can’t proceed to register an account!! This is really Catch-22 and I can’t believe there isn’t some help with this.
-
then they can’t proceed to register an account!!
Nope, you’re wrong. They need only the account, no need open a blog.
That’s it. -
Then please tell me how someone can open a wordpress.com account… I can’t seem to manage it without giving a sitename.
-
They can go to https://signup.wordpress.com/start/en/start/?step=step-signup
Try with this. -
That link goes straight to Step 1 of 4 of getting a website! However, I received another link that works: https://wordpress.com/start

Not for me.
However, I received another link that works: https://wordpress.com/start
Perfect!

I’ve learned on this project that wordpress.com has a number of actions that work differently for people depending on their status, making it very difficult to test things.

It stands to reason. Depending on the role, you can do different things:
