Title: Getting Involved Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Getting Involved * [Engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engine44/) * (@engine44) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/) * I am interested in Getting Involved with WordPress. I requested a Slack invite but it didn’t come. I then sent an email explaining that the Slack invite didn’t come. So far, no response. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do next? * Thanks Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [girlieworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/girlieworks/) * (@girlieworks) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645706) * Hi, [@engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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. * Thread Starter [Engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engine44/) * (@engine44) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645804) * It’s not in my spam folder amd my email is correct. Thanks for your reply. * [babssaul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babssaul/) * (@babssaul) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645815) * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/yourname@chat.wordpress.org?output_format=md) * And is this page of any use?

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. * Thread Starter [Engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engine44/) * (@engine44) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645823) * So far, no luck. * I just sent myself a test message in the chat format: [myname@chat.wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/myname@chat.wordpress.org?output_format=md). 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. * [babssaul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babssaul/) * (@babssaul) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645827) * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/register.php) and sign up for an account. * 2. When this is done, visit [https://chat.wordpress.org](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”). * Thread Starter [Engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engine44/) * (@engine44) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645830) * Thank you, but I did all that and did not get an email. I’m sure this will be worked out eventually. * [babssaul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babssaul/) * (@babssaul) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645831) * Next step is then to email [slackinvitehelp@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/slackinvitehelp@wordpress.org?output_format=md) and ask for help with this. * Thread Starter [Engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engine44/) * (@engine44) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645834) * I did that also, three days ago, lol. Perhaps I should send a second email. * Thread Starter [Engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engine44/) * (@engine44) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645947) * I still can’t get into WordPress Slack. Is there a moderator or someone else in WordPress who can help? * Thanks Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Getting Involved’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) * 10 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engine44/) * Last activity: [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-involved/#post-7645947) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
