Making my page public
-
Hello,
When I share a link to my blog on Facebook, it says that the page is still set to private. How do I change it and make it public please?
Many thanks

Your blog was private initially and then you made it public. Facebook has not cleared their cache and that is the issue. It is not a wordpress.COM issue.

Facebook has some sort of crazy caching that we can’t control. It sounds like your blog was private when you shared it before. Now, when you attempt to share again, it’s just digging into its cache for the same description.
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 know alternative is to wait for it to clear out on its own in about a week.
The Facebook debugger and it may work for you. Please try it by visiting
