Invite users on .org sites

    Having checked a number of forums on this topic, there seems to be some demand for the option to invite users on a wp.org site as there is on a wp.com one. But the responses from wp come across as a bit dismissive each time, not unlike the one above. The question is why – why is it not possible to have this option on wp.org? The various plug-ins relating to managing users appear to focus on existing users inviting other users, not the administrator alone – I can’t find one that does the simple job that the wp.com does. Please explain!

    WordPress.ORG sites are not related to each other – whereas WP.COM sites are part of one big network of sites. It’s fundamentally different.

    I recognise that they are different, but I’m still not sure I understand how this difference prevents the Invite function being an option on a .org site. When there is demand for it, why can’t it be included as part of the basic function of managing users?

    wordpress.org sites are completely unconnected to one another.
    wordpress.com sites are all connected to one another via a huge network.
    Invitations rely on a pre-existing network,
    Without the network connection, you cannot invite anyone.

    What I want to be able to do is send out a (customisable) message when I add a new user, say as a Contributor, so that the invitation is more personal than just a link to the website and their password. How do I do this on a .org site?

    Have you looked for a suitable plugin?
