  Hello,
  I have 578 posts that I’d like to make private. Is there a way to change the visibility setting in bulk, rather than going through them individually? I don’t see a ‘select all’ option in the Posts section.
  Thank you!

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there, at the moment this is only possible through the WordPress.com WP Admin dashboard. https://wordpress.com/support/posts/edit-posts-screen/

  You’ll still have to convert them in batches and you might encounter an error message along the way, but the batch process will still be working in the background.

  Alternatively, if you want to make your entire site Private so only you can see it, you can do that in your site’s Settings>General dashboard. https://wordpress.com/support/settings/privacy-settings/#find-the-privacy-settings

  Hope that helps, but post back here if you have more questions about this.
