  Wondering two things: 1. Can I make my blog (well-established, 5 years old) a subscription-only blog, or accessible only when I provide a link to a post…rather than reachable by the public (anyone anywhere anytime)? 2. Can I delete a subscriber or, if not, somehow block them from seeing content? Thank you for the help.

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

  Hi there,

  It appears that you’re using the open source WordPress.ORG software hosted at another hosting company (1&1 Internet). Please keep in mind, these forums here at WordPress.COM are for WordPress websites hosted and managed at WordPress.COM

  In other words, if you visit Dashboard.WordPress.COM and the site in question is not listed, then the support does not belong here.
  https://dashboard.wordpress.com

  To get help with your issues, you need to post your question at the WordPress.ORG support forum or to your hosting provider.
  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  You can learn more about the differences between .COM vs .ORG here:

  Hi @kerihoron,

  There are a number of third-party membership plugins that allow you to create a subscription-based site. You can also add/edit/delete users, as outlined here: https://learn.wordpress.org/workshop/user-management/

  In this case, you might want to change a user’s role once you’ve settled upon a plugin.
