Hi… thank you for your reply.
But it is no the bolding is the problem. I wrote:

“enlarge the font for emphasis. can’t see how to do the font bit.”

by which I meant ‘enlarge the font’.

🙂

Sorry. It is all alright, it seems. I asked a friend to try and they followed the link and was able to read it all just find. Just as I was myself just now when I clicked the link. So what’s going on? Am I barmy or something? Well I get automatically logged in when I access my site on my pc here. So I log off in order to see the site as others will see it.

When I do that is when I see the login screen and message. That’s what set me off.

So, sorry about that. Still got the mystery why I get that though.

I switched to 20 19 after deactivating all plugins. The deactivation didn’t help. So I switched. Got a different screen for activate new users and only my most recent attempt was there. One I made this morning. Yesterday’s two failed attempts didn’t show in pending at all.

So I clicked activate ( or approve or whatever it is) and it worked fine. Thanks a lot. 🙂 I’ll now switch back to 2017 and try installing plugins as you suggest.

Thanks again. I guess that’s a sort of standard basic methodology for trouble shooting?

Very lovely. Thank you very much. What an excellent heap of solutions. I think that ftp will suit me best. I might try them all just for the fun of it. 🙂

Thanks for that. I deactivated that plugin. Don’t know why it was activated, it’s not the one that is doing the work. For the buttons remained after deactivating it.

Apparently it is ‘sharethisshare’ buttons addon that’s doing the job. I’ve just been playing with it but I can’t get it to stop putting two buttons for every choice. Ah well.

But what fixed it was was switching off that editor. The ‘classic editor’ plugin. That’s not really fixing it is it? It’s avoiding it. But good enough.

I don’t do much. I can make do with this editor, today’s standard.

So I guess that’ll do it. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. 🙂

Thank you for that. How stupid of me ! Seems I cannot edit it now, either.

So here is the correct link: [ moved to link field ]

I tried to insert that as a link but it didn’t take. Didn’t show at all.

I don’t know that I’m putting it too clearly. What I’m talking about is that sometimes a sort of intro page opens that shows people what it is all about – but still needs to be clicked on to get there.
Other times the link simply remains there as a link needing to be click on.
I am trying to understand and control that behaviour.
I thought for a while it was because of configurational differences across my sites but I’ve got a couple of examples here, one each way, both from the same site:
