  Hello:

  I am able to open the link to this blog post when others send it to me, but they are lot able to open it themselves. https://socialschoolpr.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/tuneup-your-twitter-profile/. They received the link through the subscription feature that alerts them to a new post. Any idea why that might be?

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

  Hi,

  I am able to open the link to this blog post when others send it to me, but they are [not] able to open it themselves. https://socialschoolpr.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/tuneup-your-twitter-profile/.

  The link is functioning, and the post is visible. There may be various explanations for the failure of the link in email messages of “others” to connect to the post, but I believe the issue is most likely out of the control of WordPress.com. The evidence suggests that the problem is a local one, likely having something to do with the browser (Is it compatible, updated?) browser settings (firewall? third-party cookies accepted?), or internet connectivity, of the device/system used by the individuals attempting to access the post via the link.

  Questions:

  • Is this link found in an email notification of a new post, sent to followers?
  • Does more than one follower find that this particular link fails?
  • If the link fails to work, what is the error message received?
  • Have the followers encountered failure of other links to the site?
