    Hello, Is it possible to stop people following by email and how do I stop them doing it?

    Hi there,

    There is no effective way to block subscribers, so it would be ineffective to provide the ability to manually unfollow or unsubscribe a user. A follower could create a new account, username, or e-mail address and refollow the blog. Since IP addresses are dynamic, blocking the address would not work either. Also, other users who are currently on the same IP address might inadvertently be blocked as well.

    However, I have a few recommendations: Make sure comment moderation is turned on Settings > Discussion so that all comments have to be approved. That way nothing will get through to the public side of your site without your approval.

    Alternatively, you can set your site to private and then invite only those that you desire to view your site.

    Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

    Cheers,
