Trouble viewing a private blog
-
I accepted a friend’s invitation to view her private blog and subsequently received an email advising that I’d been added to the blog. When I click the “visit blog” button in the email, I get a “private blog” notification. Although I’m logged into my WordPress account, I can’t access the blog. Help!

It appears that either the invitation was retracted, or you were removed from the site after being invited.

She removed me and sent me another invitation, which I accepted earlier this afternoon. We did this to try to fix the problem, but it didn’t work. I continue to have the same problem.
-
Also, after accepting the 2nd invitation, I received an email stating that I was added to the blog.

I’m sorry, but you’re definitely not in the list of folks who can view the site.
That’s really all I can confirm to you, since you’re not the owner of the site.
If she joins in this thread, we can help a bit more directly.

I am here now. When I look on my administrator page under viewers, lhmiles56 appears. She does not, however, appear as a follower. I have had other friends who have had difficulty following after accepting the invitation to view.

@phoebecaulfield43, can you please confirm the URL of the site in question? The site provided to us earlier in this thread, https://caminocontemplative.com/, does not belong to you, so it looks like we’re looking at the wrong site.
She does not, however, appear as a follower. I have had other friends who have had difficulty following after accepting the invitation to view.
Accepting an invitation to view a private site does not also cause one to follow the site. It literally only makes you able to view the site. Following the site is a separate action – one still has to click the Follow button while looking at the site.
If someone has accepted the invitation to view and they’re able to see the site, but they’re unable to follow, there might be something up with their account. Please give the usernames involved, then we can take a look.
