Remove Protection

  • awesomeattitudes · Member ·

    I am a new blogger…I mistakenly clicked to add Protection on the blog post (and did not understand what that meant) and the post is published. I definitely do NOT want my post protected. How do I remove the protection? I have tried to find the Visibility again and it does not show now. Help!

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

    Hi there!

    Can you send over a screenshot of what you mean here? I haven’t heard of this feature on WordPress.com.

    I’ll also tag this as Modlook, so that staff could check your account and help you further!

    Cheers :)

    I can’t see a modlook tag? You can edit the post by clicking the gear icon top right and “status” and then change from “password protected” to “public” and then “update”.

    Hi there!

    @themagicrobot — Sorry, I forgot to add it. I was unsure about what the user was talking about the way they explained it.

    @awesomeattitudes — If you have more questions, please reply back to this thread. I will now tag it as Modlook, so staff can close and give any advice.

    Cheers :)
