  My site is set to public, after a period of ‘coming soon’ while I made some changes. I have sent the site URL to several people, but when they click on it they go to a wordpress login screen. There is an option in small print to visit the site directly, but I’m worried that my elderly readers won’t see that and will bale out. Have I missed something?

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

  Hi there,

  I suspect there was an issue where you may have seen an out of date view due to browser caching. I am able to see your site and can confirm it’s online and available to the public. What I see:

  

  Now that some time has passed are you able to see it too?
