  Dears,

  pls help, bloggers from Kazakhstan and any other users can’t access WP blogs – only main webpage of WP is opening, then its not possible to access dashboard, main pages of blogs etc. like mine too. I see that there is another user who submitted this question – https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/troubles-to-access-dashboard?replies=4#post-623468, but actually we’ve been contacting to our main provider Kazakhtelecom ISP and they commented, that nothing was blocked by them its should be double checked from WP side.

  Can you pls (thousands of pleeease!!!) to double check from your side that technically everything should be working with accessing blogs in KZ? If it’s really OK from your side, we will investigate more…

  Waiting so much for your support,
  Aya

  We have International Forums and I’m not aware of which language people from Kazakhstan speak but perhaps looking at these forums may be helpful for locating them if they do not post to this English speaking forum. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/forums-in-other-languages-not-english?replies=1

  It might be another government censorship issue (Turkey, China, etc.), so you might want to contact WP support and see if they know anything:

  Kazakhstan Law Makes Google Put On Redirect List With China June  9, 2011.

  Seems it really comes from Kazaksthan and maybe as johnnytesting wrote and not from wordpress.com.
  Please stop giving us generalities, as “do not forget to log in, cookies, last version of…etc….Most of people who do have a wordpress.com blog write it in english or russian language for your info. It should be easy for wordpress.com to find out if there is a restriction from this country.
  Anyhow, thank you to take time to reply, this is mostly and always appreciated.

  I have heard a few reports so far of WordPress.com being blocked in Kazakhstan.

  Unfortunately, we have no control over when countries decide to censor us, and there’s absolutely nothing that we can do.

  I recommend contacting your ISP first. If that doesn’t help, try contacting your government officials.

  Hi!

  @timethief – I can’t open the link with languages too :) But we speak Russia/Kazakh (not implemented in WP), but our bloggers write in russian and english too

  Well, if WP confirms that it’s not an issue at their side, then I try to dig deeper into that… Don’t want to close my 2d blog cause of this…
