  I have 5 pages and all of them are set to public, and each page has been published for a while, but when viewing my site all of my pages are listed as “private”. How do I set my pages to appear public?

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

  The private setting is not a default setting. You created that Page visibility setting and you can remove it. https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-visibility/

  The page visibility settings for each page are set to public, however on the site they still say private.

  Hi mariankansas,

  I have looked into your site and see your custom menus have the navigation label of “Private: PAGE NAME”. Update the navigation label on your pages to not contain the word “Private:” will resolve this.

  Here is more on custom menus:
