  Can I have friends access a private wordpress site without them having to have an account themselves? I want to invite friends but don’t want to require their own account. Also, can I remove or block people?

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

  Hi there,

  “All viewers added to a private site must have a WordPress.com account “

  Information above found here:

  Also, you are not able to block people. Anyone with internet access is able to view and read public blogs. If you have concerns, your best bet would be to make your site private and invite others to view.

  Hope that helps.
