Publicize posts set as “Non public” on G+?

    When we share posts on our G+ page via Publicize, the posts show up as “only visible to you/page owner”.

    How come? This started after reconnecting to the G+ page recently (~2 weeks ago). How do I change the default option to “share with everyone/public”?

    I’ve tried to reconnect to our G+ page without any success, every post we share simply show up as “private”.

    That’s indeed a known issue; the option used to be available during the connection process, as well as in your Google+ settings, but Google+ removed that option a few weeks ago. We contacted them about it, and are waiting for a reply. I’ll post again here as soon as I have some news!

    It has been more than a month now without this great feature… Any update from Google? Thanks in advance

    @hugodebe We don’t have a solution yet, but we’re working with Google+ to see if there are other ways to solve this issue. Since the privacy settings are gone, we’ve asked them if it was possible to make posts public instead of private by default.

    I’ll post again here when I have some news!

    Hi there,

    I have good news!

    A few weeks ago, Google+ made some changes to their API. In doing so introduced some issues with Publicize. The module still worked, but the updates posted by the WordPress app on your Google+ Profile or Google+ Page were only visible to you.

    In the past few weeks, we’ve worked with Google+ to start using a new API. That API works just like the old one, with one exception: publicized posts are now public. You can’t change the visibility of publicized posts to “My Circles”, or anything else.

    If you’re happy to have Publicize publishing public posts to your Google+ Profile or Page, you can follow the instructions below to delete your old connection, and then reconnect your Jetpack site to your Google+ account:

    I hope this helps.
