Hi, @engine44. Have you checked your Spam folder to see if it went there by mistake? The email would come from feedback [at] slack.com (obscured because…it seems like the right thing to do, heh).
Edited to add: the invite email would go to whatever address is listed on your profile here on wordpress.org.
It’s not in my spam folder amd my email is correct. Thanks for your reply.
Hi
I had problems initially getting on to Slack, but that was before I tried with my WordPress email address.
Are you using that? It will look like yourname@chat.wordpress.org
And is this page of any use? https://make.wordpress.org/chat/
Babs
I used my regular WordPress email address. It is a different format from what you suggest. I just tried to sign into Slack using your format. I had to say that I forgot my password because I don’t have one yet. Let’s see if I get a password reset.
On another part of the Slack page, it says that I had been previously sent an invite. That is the invite I never got.
Thanks.
So far, no luck.
I just sent myself a test message in the chat format: myname@chat.wordpress.org. The message delivery failed. I’m not surprised because I never set up an email address of that type. Is there a place I should have gone to set up that address? Thanks.
Hello again
We will get there…
These are the notes I found helpful when I signed up:
1. To start, you need a WordPress.org account. If you haven’t got one, head to https://wordpress.org/support/register.php and sign up for an account.
2. When this is done, visit https://chat.wordpress.org, and half way down, under Joining the WordPress team on Slack, you will find a link to be invited to the Make WordPress Slack team.
Click on I understand. Please send me an invite. (if you understand all above).
An email will be sent to you.
3. Follow the instructions in the email to create your account for Make WordPress Slack team – the home of all discussions on contributing to the WordPress project.
4. You’ll be dropped into the Make WordPress Slack team. From there you can join channels based on where you want to contribute to WordPress (by clicking on the left hand side under “Channels”).
Thank you, but I did all that and did not get an email. I’m sure this will be worked out eventually.
Next step is then to email slackinvitehelp@wordpress.org and ask for help with this.
I did that also, three days ago, lol. Perhaps I should send a second email.
I still can’t get into WordPress Slack. Is there a moderator or someone else in WordPress who can help?
Thanks
