Why does the default link not work every time I create a new post?

    I’m writing because I am having an issue with the permalink. My posts are showing up under the featured section of my home page which is great. However when clicking on the link, I am unable to go to my posts and see the full page. I noticed when I create a post the following link shows up: https://signup.wordpress.com/activate/ This can’t be right, right? Anytime I click on any of my posts that have this default link it takes me to the user dashboard. Can you please assist me with this? Can my default link be corrected so I can go to the actual post pages? Thank you!

    There’s a wide-spread technical “invalid activation key” issue evidenced by the multiple active threads on the front page of this forum all reporting the same issue. All have been flagged for Staff attention. If that’s what you need help with than I suggest taking a break for a few hours and returning. Hopefully, Staff will have fixed this by then.

    Sorry for the trouble!

    We identified and corrected the issue. The affected blogs are each being fixed individually.

    If yours has not been fixed yet, it should be in a few hours.
