  i have 2 WP blogs, and the other one never had that issue. the second one was set to “private” for years, but i’ve changed that to “public” almost 3 months ago (and yes, the box “discourage blah blah search engines” is correctly NOT checked). still, it just doesn’t show up. i’m aware it doesn’t happen overnight, but even when i specifically google it, no result. any idea why?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Did you already connect your site to Google’s Search Console? See https://wordpress.com/support/seo/#why-isnt-my-site-showing-up-on-google

  i never had to do that for the other blog, and checked all those potential issues before asking on the forum. i’ve linked it a lot on social media, checked all settings, waited a while. what’s the most puzzling thing is – if i type “elliott smith gallery wordpress” on google, even such a specific request doesn’t bring out any relevant result.
