  I initially set my blog to private. I’ve changed it back to public, but when I link the posts to facebook, the preview still shows the blog as private.

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

  Hi,
  I tried sharing one of your posts(https://incrementbuilder.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/location-houston-texas/) on Facebook and I did get the same protected blog login message to be shared. It looks like Facebook has your protected site in its cache.
  I did use their debug tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/) to get Facebook to refresh the blog and then tried sharing the post, Now I don’t see the same message.

  If you still have issues for other url’s, use the debug tool and refresh Facebook’s cache for that url.
