Hi, some years ago I was invited to be an admin by a blog I didn’t know anything about. Then, if I remember right, I somehow blocked all future invitations to be an admin anywhere else. But now somebody would invite me as an admin and I would like to accept it, and he says, he keeps getting this message: ‘the user has blocked all admin requests’. How can I reset it? I have tried to find it on settings, but could not find it anywhere.
Can somebody help me, please? :-)

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

Hi there,
Go to https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions
Scroll down to:
Block Emails
__Block all email updates from blogs you’re following on WordPress.com
disable the setting and then click “Save Notification Settings”.

Hi, thank you so much for your reply. I have tried (it was not even blocked there), and it is still not working. The problem is that the invitation letters to be an admin/any role seem to have been blocked somehow. About four or five years ago, when I received such an invitation and clicked “unsubscribe from getting such invitations”, I seem to have blocked these for good. My friend says, whenever he wants to invite me, the system keeps signalling “invalid email/user not found”.
I must have deleted that old letter, as I cannot find it, so I cannot go back to unclick it. Is there a way to reset it somehow?
Thank you for your time and patience.

Hi @wordwatcherdawn,

Can you ask them to give this another try? I’ve unblocked email invitations for you.
