Hi, I’m trying to invite authors to my blog but I have a response: “Request was rejected due to the server error”;

it seems like “ghost/api/admin/invites/” api doesn’t work. Could you please fix this issue?

- [Blog da Margex: Guias e tutoriais sobre trading de criptomoedas](https://margex.com/pt/blog/)
- Version: [5.25.5]

And

- [How was Ghost installed and configured?](https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/ghost/)
- mysql
- Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 504 () [https://margex.com/pt/blog/ghost/api/admin/invites/](https://margex.com/pt/blog/ghost/api/admin/invites/)
- Go to admin panel → Settings → Staff → Invite People → Paste email address → Send invitation now

What’s in your ghost logs corresponding to when this happens?

Does outbound email work correctly? Does your mailserver log (or mailgun, if that’s what you’re using) show an attempt to send email?

Outbound email works correctly. Tried with difference email addresses.

This is what I see after clicking the button “Send invitation now”

after a few minutes I see the error: “Request was rejected due to server error”
