  is there any way to block an individual user as opposed to everyone? i dont want to block all readers from my blog, id just like to restrict maybe one or 2 individuals. can this be done?

  i was also wondering if there is an option some where to restrict readers to just registered wordpress users.

  There’s no way to stop just one or two people from reading your blog. That would be like trying to publish a newspaper that one or two people can’t read.

  You can stop individuals from posting comments on your blog:

  Can I stop someone from leaving comments on my blog?

  You can also make your blog private, or password protect individual posts.

  Correct, we don’t offer that feature. It wouldn’t help even if we did — they could simply log out and read your blog anyway, or create a new account and log in to that.
