    I have linked WordPress with my Google Account but the posts are showing as visible only to me. I have searched all settings and cannot find how to change this. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

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

    Hi there,

    Google recently made a change to Google+ which means at the moment there is no way to change those posts to public. See the note at the top of the page here:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

    We’ve been in contact with Google about this, but it looks like they made this change intentionally and haven’t provided an alternative way to change that. If we find any way around it I’ll let you know, but for now Publicize does not work for new Google+ connections.

    Hi there,

    I have good news!

    A few weeks ago, Google+ made some changes to their API. In doing so introduced some issues with Publicize. The module still worked, but the updates posted by the WordPress app on your Google+ Profile or Google+ Page were only visible to you.

    In the past few weeks, we’ve worked with Google+ to start using a new API. That API works just like the old one, with one exception: publicized posts are now public. You can’t change the visibility of publicized posts to “My Circles”, or anything else.

    If you’re happy to have Publicize publishing public posts to your Google+ Profile or Page, you can follow the instructions below to delete your old connection, and then reconnect your Jetpack site to your Google+ account:

    I hope this helps. If you have any questions, let us know!
