  Hello,

  When I was setting up my blog I had it private, but I have since changed it. However, when I share a link on social media it says that it is private. I believe people can still access it but in the description it says that it’s private. Can you please help?

  Thanks,
  Bailey

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

  Hi there!

  I tried to share to Facebook and saw the “protected” text.

  Sometimes they’ll hang onto old info when privacy changes, so they have this tool for forcing it to update: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

  I pasted your blog URL into the box and clicked the “fetch new” button and that refreshed the share and now it looks correct (and not protected).

  Did that fix it on your end? :)
