  I have made my blog public again, yet every time I try to copy the url into my facebook page, it says that my blog is private still. I have logged out of wordpress and facebook, cleared history/settings, etc. and still won’t let me post my blog. Settings say that it’s ‘public’, yet it isn’t acting like it!!! HELP!

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

  Please see the Staff response here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/my-public-blog-says-private-when-posting-link-on-facebook?replies=11#post-658573

  I know this sounds weird, but you’ll need to ask a friend who has never shared one of your posts before to share a post. This will kick Facebook’s cache back in gear. The only other alternative is to wait for it to clear out on its own in about a week.

  If that does not work then Facebook has yet to flush their caches and we have zero control on that but you can try using the Facebook debugger to expedite this by visiting https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
