  I recently created a new blog in WordPress.com and wanted to share my post with my Facebook friends. When I tried to post using the Facebook share from my post, the “Share on Facebook” page opens with the message

  http://codosphere.wordpress.com is marked private by its owner. If you were invited to view this site, please log in below. Read more about privacy settings.

  I checked the blog’s settings in Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading. Site visibility option is set as

  Allow search engines to index this site

  . Am I missing some configuration?

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

  Many thanks for the help. Yes I had my blog as Private. Using the Facebook Debugger tool did the trick.
