  One of my blogs were set to private earlier. Even I’ve changed it to public, I am still having issues by others getting the error message. The answer might be very simple but I couldn’t get it to work. Can you please help?

  The blog address that I would like it to work is:
  http://oldwineinnewbottles.wordpress.com/

  The one that I would like to get rid off is:
  http://oldwineinnewbottles.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/welcome/

  Thank you in advance.

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

  Hi there,

  Your blog at http://oldwineinnewbottles.wordpress.com/ is public, so any visitors can see the blog. If you receive an error message when you visit the blog, please let me know exactly what the error says and I can check that for you.

  To get rid of a specific post on your blog, you can go to Posts > All Posts in your dashboard. You can hover over the post title on that page, and then click the Trash link that appears. We have more information about deleting posts here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#deleting-posts

  Please let me know if I can provide any further help with this. :)

  Thanks for the quick reply.
  The error message below only appears when I try to post it on a Facebook.

  Hi there,

  Thanks for explaining the error. Facebook saves information about your blog, and it can take some time for them to refresh that saved information. You can try to force Facebook to update that information with their debugger here:

  https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

  You can enter the link to your blog in that debugger and click the Debug button. That should make Facebook refresh their information so it shows up correctly when you post on Facebook.

  Happy new year!
