  I was told from friends trying to read my blog that it required a password when clicking on the link. I pursued the suggestions in past posts and I’ve verified my blogs are set to public and verified that the website itself was also public. With these changes a password is still required when an external device attempts to click on the blog link. Any help is much appreciated.

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

  Hello!

  I checked your site and noticed that one of your posts (The Curse of the Grand Valley) is actually linked to the Post Editor instead of the published article slug (URL).

  Given this, anyone who tries to open your “The Curse of the Grand Valley” post will be greeted with the WordPress.com log in screen.

  This is expected because it leads to the Post Editor, which is not accessible by non-logged in users.

  💡 To resolve this, I suggest editing your “Home” page and updating the link URL to https://ricowrites18.wordpress.com/2023/02/15/the-curse-of-the-grand-valley/.

  Here’s a guide you can refer to:

  Additionally, I noticed you’re manually showing your posts on the Home page.

  I suggest using the Blog Posts block, which provides rich features you can use to enhance your home page :)

  The Query Loop block allows you to display posts based on parameters you specify.
