  I am trying to block an ex-boyfriend and yet I need my site public still. How can I block only his profile?
  Thank you!

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

  Hi @mychildmyrightsgodslaw ,

  There is not a way to block an individual user. They could easily just create another user account.

  You can edit your settings so that all comments on your blog need to be approved first prior to being displayed publicly: https://mondaytuesdaywtfdotcom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php

  Here is another forum thread where this has been discussed, there is some good advice in it. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-do-i-block-a-user?replies=8
