Private Blog Not Working Right.

  • Unknown's avatar

    My Private Blog is not working right as tried to login.

    I’ll explain what happened…

    • I just invited a person to be a ‘viewer’ of my private site and he clicked the ‘accept invitation’ from the mail he received.
    • He was able to view my private site after accepting invitation.
    • But when he signed in through another device (or another browser) to my private site, it was unsuccessful.
    • after successful login it showed the same screen of ‘login’ over and over again.
    •please note that he signed out from his previous device before logging in from his new device.
    • the same screen when an ‘non viewer’ visits any private site was shown to him over and over again.
    • he is technically signed in to WordPress, but when he opens the private site the screen comes again.

    Please check on this issue…. Thanks.

  • Hi there,

    What you describe happens if we’re unable to detect that someone is logged into WordPress.com, so the problem is not with your site. It’s with your viewer’s browser.

    Specifically, this happens if the browser is blocking cookies, so ask your viewer to make sure their browser allows third party cookies, if the browser has tracking-blocking built in like the Prevent Cross Site Tracking feature in Safari, or they’re using any anti-tracking browser add-ons, have them see if disabling those help.

    In case the problem is just a stale cookie, have them also clear browser cookies and log back in.

    For more help with this it would be best if that viewer can post here so we can troubleshoot with them directly.

    Wow Great, It just worked fine. Yeah you’re right he used incognito tab for logging in thus blocking cookies. A big thanks kokkieh. Have a great day.
