  Someone listed as a follower on my private site is not able to see my site in their reader, or use their username and password to access it directly by URL – how can I fix this?

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

  Hi there,

  You need to change the user role of the Follower to be Viewer. On WordPress.com, only Viewer is able to access a private site.

  To change the user role, follow the steps here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#changing-user-roles

  Do let us know if you have further questions, we’ll be glad to help.
