  Hi there,

  Awhile ago I decided to set my blog to private and give permission to certain people to view. I noticed today that there were visits from a search. Can you tell me if there is a way that someone can bypass that WP setting and view my blog anyway?

  Thank you!
  :D

  A search can come to your blog, but not get in. So it’s hitting the front URL of the blog, whatever.wordpress.com and getting nothing. Some people who don’t realize things are private may even try to link to you and the search robots will follow those links. But they still can’t read your blog.
