  How do I delete a follower that has signed up by email? I have attempted to go in to blog admin & delete them once I go to my followers by email but I can’t seem to find out how to do this.

  Thanks so much!

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

  I’d be happy to delete a follower for you but you can’t prevent them from following you again in the future.

  If you want to hide your blog instead, please use privacy option so only you and logged-in members of the blog can view it.

  Thank you for your prompt answer. When I looked at the list again, it appears that they may have removed themselves.

  Hello,

  so just to confirm: if I make my blog private, even someone who is following me by email but is NOT a WordPress member cannot see my blog, correct?

  What about that email though: it shows each new post.

  Only to the WordPress subscribers, or to the plain email subscribers also?

  Thanks for your answer!

  Your followers won’t receive updates once your blog is set as private, they also won’t be able to visit the blog.

  Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
