  I set my blog to private and I still have traffic coming to the site. It is interfering with business planning.

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

  Hi lunarrover,

  wordtrail.wordpress.com is currently marked public, which is why people are still able to visit. Did you follow these steps for marking it private?

  Come back to me if you have any more questions.

  NO.

  https://exospace.wordpress.com/ is the one that has to be private. 11 people have visited in the last 2 days.

  Hi @lunarrover, once you make the site private, your stats will count your own logged-in visits to it.

  So if you’re logged in from a few different computers, you would show as multiple visitors. If you’re visiting the site multiple times from those computers, they’d be counted as separate clicks.

  Hoping that makes sense!

  WRONG.

  I am getting visits from Pakistan. This information is being made secret as a new company is incorporated. We cannot tolerate any more foreign observation as we have had from Russia and China. The privacy settings are NOT working. NOTIFY WORDPRESS IT.

  @lunarrover I am WordPress IT.

  I can see you made https://exospace.wordpress.com/ private on October 4, 2018.

  That private site has only had visits from the US since then. Be sure you are looking at the correct stats:
  https://wordpress.com/stats/day/exospace.wordpress.com

  Another site had a recent visit from Pakistan, but that site is not private.
