    “Oh what a gift the Giftie gie us,
    to see ourselves as ithers see us.”
    – I forgot (high school English was a long time ago)

    When I navigate to my blog, I see it through the Administrator’s eyes. How can I see it as Joe Blow would see it during his first visit there??

    If I logout, I’m presented with a login screen. So I log back in and I see the blog again as an Administrator (which I am).

    Does this have something to do with Roles?

  • Hi skeezicks, can you tell me what’s the URL of the page where you’re presented with the login screen?

    I suppose it is http://<youraddress>/wp-login.php

    If it is, then after you logged out simply go to http://<youraddress&gt; (without the “wp-login.php” part).

    I hope it works!

    Yes, please take a look at:

    springvalleyhoa.org/blog

    How can I see what you see??

    Um, by using the address you just gave us, you should be seeing just what we see – as long as you’re logged out. Even if you’re logged in, you should only see very minor differences, like a link to “edit this post” or whatever.

    Do you mean that you want to know what the site looks like in different browsers?

    No. If I log out, inevitably I’ll be greeted with a login screen. And if I then login, I see what I get when logged in as Administrator.

    So I guess I need to create another user on my computer, but I’m not sure how to do that other than editing the User table.

    Which I don’t want to do. I want to see the screen that somebody who has never left a comment on my blog would see.

    It’s late (for me) and I hope I made myself a bit more clear.

    Definitely over-thinking this. 😉

    Log out. You see a log in prompt? Ignore it.

    Change the URL in the browser’s address bar to your blog address. springvalleyhoa.org/blog

    Admire your blog as a non-logged in user.

    or after you log out just click your « Back to blog link
