Adding Users not working despite recommendations

  • I am trying to add a new user account to one of the sub-sites on my WordPress Multi-site. I already have a working subsite, a different one, with an admin account for another person and that seems to be working. WP version is 5.7. Plugins are up to date. I’ve tried the following recommendations:

    Disabled all plugins, switched the site Theme to a default theme (Twenty-Seventeen).

    I created a test network user, but somehow the password will not work when I try to log in.

    I tried creating another user account for the subsite and I get the message:

    That username is currently reserved but may be available in a couple of days.

    That email address has already been used. Please check your inbox for an activation email. It will become available in a couple of days if you do nothing.

    I checked with the persona and that email never comes through, nor does it show on the All Users list.

    Is this a bug with WP 5.7? I really need to get this person using the site and possibly add more users.

    Thank you.

  • There is a ticket scheduled for 5.7.1 (soon) about the sending address of the mail affecting whether it was sent.

    You can revert to 5.6.2 with WP Downgrade plugin if you need it sooner.

    Hi Joy,

    I just installed the WP Downgrade and reverted to 5.6.2 and tried creating a new user. Have not seen anything changing yet. I did this with all of the plugins disabled except the downgrade plugin and the theme set to Twenty-Seven. So far, no new user has shown up in the list yet. I checked the email – I got access and no email has arrived, though the message said it may take a couple of days for the email to arrive.

    Don’t know what to do yet.

    Thanks for the response.

    John
