Why do my friends need to register after recieving an invite to my blog?

    I’ve sent out several invites to my friends and they are refusing to accept the invitation because they are asked to register. This makes them uncomfortable as they’ve never done this in my past blogs. Why has this changed and do they need to register? The site address is; 2015asianadventure.wordpress.com. The name of my blog is: 2015 58 Days Asian Adventure

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

    There has been no change made. They need to register wordpress.COM username accounts (but not blogs) so the software can tell that they are bona fide users and not hackers.

    Upon receipt of the invitation the invitee will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If the invitee is logged into their WordPress.com username account, he or she will be taken directly to your blog. If not, he or she will be taken to the log-in screen, where he or she can either log in, or can register a new WordPress.COM user account.

    Note that invitees who do create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.

    If the invitee has registered a username account and cannot access your blog, then post the invitee’s WordPress.COM username here and type modlook for Staff help into the sidebar tags of this thread. Then subscribe to this thread so you are notified when Staff respond to it. To do that please look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.
