  Hi,

  I am having a very difficult time. My blog URL is not becoming public, even though I have gone into ‘settings’ > ‘site visibility’ > ‘allow search engines to index this site.’

  When I type my blog URL into a search engine when I’m not logged onto WordPress, I am being told I need to log in to view my blog.

  Also, I changed my blog URL from kristiesthougts to kristiesthoughts, (I misspelled it the first time) and it’s still hasn’t updated.

  If someone could please help me, that would be great.

  Thank you!

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

  I’m not having any trouble seeing https://kristiesthougts.wordpress.com/ as a logged out viewer. Are you still being prompted to login?

  The URL change did not go through because https://kristiesthoughts.wordpress.com/ is an existing site. That means it would be unavailable to use as your site URL.
