Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Nothing happens when I click “Log In.” How do I fix this?

In most cases, this occurs when there is an active pop-up blocker. You will need to turn off the pop-up blocker when visiting our website or add us to your list of websites with this permission. This is typically located in the browser settings under website security settings or privacy.

Q: Why can’t I stay logged in after checking the “Stay Logged In” box?

Our website is designed to keep you logged in indefinitely. However, there could be security settings on your device that overrides this attempt. A few things to check for:

• Ensure you are not browsing incognito or InPrivate.
• Ensure cookies are allowed for our website.
• Make sure your VPN is disabled when visiting our website.
• Check your antivirus’s web security settings to ensure that tracking is allowed for our website.

Q: Do you have an app?

Yes! Our app is available for download in the App Store on Apple devices and in the Google Play Store on Android devices under The Daily Memphian.

Q: I am already a subscriber. When accessing my subscription, I am being told that I have reached my limit of free articles.

This means that you are required to log in to your account. You may log in using the Log In button located at the top-right corner of your screen. When logging in to your account, we recommend that you opt to stay logged in. You will need to log in separately for each browser you use on your computer or your phone.

(Note that, on your mobile device, Twitter and Facebook use their own browser, so you’ll have to log in again when using Twitter and Facebook. It’s annoying, we know. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about it.)

You can also email us at support@dailymemphian.com or call Customer Service at 901-501-NEWS.
