  Hello again,
  Being new to WordPress, I overlooked the global privacy settings for my site-in-progress and made a number of pages private instead. I am now unable to check the “public” bullet to change these pages back again, instead I have to copy all the content into a new page and delete the old page. Surely this can’t be the way to do it?!
  Thanks,
  Justin

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

  Provided you are logged in under the exact username account that registered the site, all pages are here
  http://just4funkcom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
  Hover over a page title and click the edit link to open.

  The relevant support doc is at https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#edit-a-page

  Hi Justin,

  There was a bug preventing private posts and pages from being set to public, but that’s been fixed not. Please let me know if you’re still seeing problems with this, though.
