  I am logged in and a member of the blog but when I click on a linked pdf, I get a 403 access denied message.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Volunteers cannot view private blogs. I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Howdy,

  Thanks for your patience. In looking at your particular situation, one of the particular PDFs that I saw on one of the pages on the private blog (sorry for being so cryptic, but as it is a private blog, we won’t say much on the public forum about it), was linked to a PDF uploaded to a different private blog, which you are not a member.

  The admin can either add you as a member of the other blog or, likely the best method given the type of blog, reupload it to the particular blog that you’re a member of.

  If the admin needs assistance, please do ask them to contact us and make a reference to this thread. We’d be happy to help. If that didn’t make sense, please do let me know!

  Thanks for using WordPress.com.
