I created a *.wordpress.com site and it was working fine on my Surface. I then decided to make it private until I finished it. When it was finalised I reverted back to public, but couldn’t access it in any browser. I found out that my McAfee has blocked it as I checked in my Firewall Navigation Net Guard. Would it be safe to unblock my website IP there or does this indicate that my website has been hacked? I can access it on my old Vista laptop, which is also protected by McAfee, so I am confused, help please!

You’re welcome. I gave up on buying expensive security software like McAfee and Norton.

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that we are seeing this issue with McAfee recently and have reached out to McAfee about it.

Hopefully it will be resolved soon! We’ll update when we hear back from them.
