Email followers

  • Unknown's avatar

    People used to be able to follow my blog even if they did not have a wordpress account. I have been told numerous times lately that the only way people can follow my blog is if they are a wordpress member. Did something change or am I doing something wrong? Also, when my blog is emailed out to email followers, they are only receiving a summary of my post, whereas they used to receive the entire post in the email. Again, do I have something wrong in the settings or is this something that has been changed within the site? Thanks

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

  • Hi there,

    Logged out users can follow your site via the Action Bar in the bottom right corner, but I’m guessing that you had the follow blog widget on your site at one point which was easier for people to see. I don’t see that widget on your site now. It might have been removed when you switched themes.

    To add it back, click on My Sites, then click the Customize button next to Themes. Click on Widgets ->Sidebar ->Add Widget, and look for the Follow Blog widget.

    As for the emails, it looks like your site’s reading settings are currently set to Summary. Set that to Full Text, and the emails should contain the full post again.
