  Hello!
  I want to change my website settings to Private so that noone can view it without invitation.
  However if I go onto my Site Settings, it will only allow me to either make it Public or Hidden, but not Private.
  Why is that? And how can I change it to Private?

  Help is very much appreciated. Thanks!

  Best regards,
  Tanya

  tanyaveganya.com is hosted by One.com
  Name Servers:
  ns02.one.com
  ns01.one.com

  That site is not on our WordPress.COM servers. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  wordpress.org support
  The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support.
  The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/
  If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

  Jetpack support
  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
