  If you are referring to the site you’ve linked to above, it is public, but without any content.

  Are you referring to a different site? If so, please give us the link, starting with http:// to make it clickable.

  Hi All,

  I am referring to http://rsvpitalianevents.com.
  I have tried to make it public through the dashboard settings but my blog account rsvpbespokeitalianevents and my website http://rsvpitalianevents.com don’t seem to be connected?

  Thanks so much for your help

  rsvpitalianevents.co.uk indeed is still marked private, so you will need to change the privacy settings as per the Support doc that kardotim (Staff) linked to above.

  Hi I have changed my privacy settings following the instructions step by step but still no luck. the website http//:rsvpitalianevents.com/co.uk is still private.
  The website was initially set up by a graphic designer that used a different username and password and when they transferred the site ownership to me I changed username and password.
  Could this be the reason?
  Thanks

  When I go to http://rsvpitalianevents.com/ I get a notice saying that
  rsvpitalianevents.co.uk/ is marked private by its owner.

  I’m not certain what has happened here, I will request Staff assistance with your problem.

  You’ll need to be logged in as the blog administrator (rsvpitalianevents) and then you can change the privacy settings at https://rsvpweddingsandevents.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

  If you don’t have access to your account or forgot the password, you can request a new password over here.

  Please follow the instructions carefully. You’ll receive two separate emails during the reset process, so make sure you read them both. If you don’t receive the emails right away, check your spam folders as well. The confirmation emails can get caught in them sometimes :)

  I thought the administrator had been changed now to rsvpbespokeitaliaevents? Do I need to change it back to rsvpitalianevents and set up a new password?
  Also, the name of the website I want to make public is http://rsvpitalianevents.com and not http://rsvpweddingsandevents.com could this be the reason why the website is still private?

  The only user on that blog is ‘rsvpitalianevents’. That’s the account you’ll need to log into. The domain behind that blog is http://rsvpitalianevents.co.uk/

  The domain rsvpitalianevents.com isn’t mapped to WordPress.com, at least not in the correct way. I think it currently uses a manual redirection.
  To map an existing domain to your WordPress.com blog, go to Store > Domains on your blog’s dashboard and follow the steps there.

  Let us know if you need any help.
