How can I have a 'read only' option while the site is in construction?

  I need to invite opinions of the site before it goes live. How do I do this without also giving those people the means of editing content? Plus, the ‘follower’ or ‘viewer’ roles are mentioned but not showing on my site – where are they?
  Thanks

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

  Howdy @adapt2,

  It looks like your blog is a WordPress.ORG self-hosted version instead of a WordPress.COM blog. This support forum is only for WordPress.COM sites.

  I’m sorry but we won’t be able to help you here. You’ll have to head over to, the .ORG forum.

  Thanks! Have a great day!
