Links will ask viewers to put in login details

    I created different pages that can be navigated to when you click on the ‘buttons’ link, which should bring readers to the other pages. However, the links simply bring readers to another page asking them to log in to the account. My privacy setting is on public. I don’t know how to get around this. Can someone help, please?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there,

    This looks like the same problem as the poster in this thread

    As @kokkieh said

    To explain a bit more what’s going on here:

    The links you’ve added to your front page are links to the editor for those pages, rather than links for the pages themselves. Editor links can only be used by a logged-in admin on the page.

    For any link you want your visitors to be able to click, you need to use the public permalink of the page you’re linking to. You can get that inside the editor from the Permalinks section in the editor sidebar:

    @ericfri    , just to clarify, those links weren’t generated on the front page by any automated process. If those links are on the front page, it’s because the OP added them there by copy-pasting them in :)
