Private Blog, Need a Follower Deleted
-
I have a private blog and 3 followers. I would like to delete one of them. I’ve already deleted them as a user, which they were given email notifications. However, they’re still listed as one of my followers and I was them off. How do I do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You invited them as Viewers to your Private site; you can delete them on the Dashboard>Settings>Reading>Privacy settings. Once you’ve removed them, they should no longer receive any notifications of new posts (i.e. follow your site). See here:

okay, thanks justjennifer. I had already done Dashboard>Setting>Reading and ”remove user” under the title “Users Allowed to Access Site/Current Site Members”. I’m confused why they are still listed as a follower even after I removed them, however.

Hi rastahead,
I see two followers for your blog other than yourself. Neither appear to be listed as viewers of your blog. Would you like me to remove them both? If not, let me know and I can send you a private email to ask which one needs to be removed.

ok, it’s still telling me I have 3? the one starting with ‘cjs’ is who I want removed. If you don’t see that follower, I maybe have to log off and on again to see changes? Thanks for your speedy reply!

Hi rastahead,
I’ve removed that follower for you. Just to alleviate your confusion, you had three followers, including yourself, when I replied the first time. Now you should show two.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

If the site is marked Private by the owner, who invites a user who then follows the blog, when the owner removes that invited user, the now uninvited user should no longer receive notifications of new posts since the site is still Private. Is that correct?
-
In theory, that is correct. Only people listed as viewers under Settings > Reading should be able to see a private blog. However, in these specific instances, we are happy to remove followers just to make sure.
