  I cant seem to change my blog from private to public. Even when changing the settings under site visibility -, it remains private…

  How can I fix this please? Any help appreciated.

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

  Hello there! You blog appears public to me:
  https://mycardboardcastleblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php
  I’m able to view it on my browsers without any problems.

  If you’re still seeing it marked private when you visit https://mycardboardcastleblog.wordpress.com/, please clear out your cookies and cache and take another look.

  Let me know if that alleviates the issue. Looking forward to hearing from you!

  Thank you for the additional information. I’d like you to try a few other things for me, and let me know how it goes.

• Use the Facebook debugger. Enter your Post’s URL here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
  Then, refresh your Post, and try posting again.
• I see that you’re using Google Chrome. Could you please try to share via another browser such as Firefox?
• Could you try to share by clicking the Facebook sharing button below your post? Try your latest:
  

  Where did all my Dad’s Friends Go?

  
  Let me know what happens when you try this a) when you’re logged into WordPress.com and b) when you’re logged out of WordPress.com

Finally, I have a couple more questions for you:
Have you ever been able to post a WordPress.com link to Facebook?
Have you setup the Publicize feature on WordPress.com?

Thanks for your patience. We’ll get to the bottom of this issue.
