  When I share a link to a page on my wordpress site, visitors are being asked to create a WordPress account or log in. I have the site and post set to public. Why is this happening and how can I make sure people are able to access the page without having to sign up/in? This never used to be the case. It’s http://www.kentisbeare.wordpress.com. Thanks.

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

  Hi marialouisethorne,

  I viewed your site (logged out of WordPress) on both Firefox and Safari without any issue.

  Where are you sharing these links? Are you able to provide one of the links here?

  As well, are you able to have one of your visitors take a screenshot of what they’re being asked to do? Here’s a link on how to take a screenshot, if they’re unfamiliar – https://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/

  Hi jameshelps. Thank you very much for getting back to me. I worked out that I had inadvertently shared the page from within the editor, rather than the final output and this was why WordPress was trying to get people to log in. So it was user error!
