    I created a post that is password-protected and now want to make itpublicly available to all. How can I change it to make it open?

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

    Hi @collyar,

    Here’s the quickest way:

    1. From your dashboard, click Posts on the left to open the list of all your posts.
    2. Find the post in the list (it’ll have “Password Protected” next to the title).
    3. Hover your cursor over the post title — a row of small links appears underneath it. Click Quick Edit.
    4. In the panel that opens, clear out the Password field so it’s empty.
    5. Click the blue Update button

    That’s it — the post will be open to everyone immediately!

    If you ever want the longer walk-through for other visibility changes: Control who can see a page or post.
