I've been wanting to ask. How can I make my code private and stop people from viewing it?

Question

I mean, I've made it private but people are still viewing it and it irks me for real... The code has something like a padlock in it indicating that it's already made private, but I still see the number of views increasing rapidly in geometric progression 😕
What should I do to stop this?

Answer 1

Dabbichuks The only person that can view your code / new code is you ( if you keep closing it and then checking it then those views are your views on a non-public / private code-bit ) unless you have put it in a chatroom or advertised it in a thread or set to public which then would be visible by those in the main activity feed...

Answer 2

Dabbichuks I'm not sure where you published it but I would copy the content into a new code-bit and delete the original..

Answer 3

I've tried it buddy... Still didn't work out😔

Answer 4

So, you tryna say that the privated code-bits view is the number of times I've viewed it? So nobody else is viewing 'em?

Answer 5

My codes are in my timeline. Ain't published 'em.

Answer 6

Okay, look at how I did it buddy... I entered my profile and navigated to the code-bits section, I tapped that green add button and started coding, so when I was through, It asked my choice of saving; (public or private)and I tapped private. So, when I came back and refreshed the page, I saw an increase, that was were my perplexity came in... I was like ***, I made this *** private and all of those 🤷🏽‍♂️

Dabbichuks here us what it says on Soloearn.com ...If you want to make your code private on Sololearn, you can mark it as private until you’re done with it. However, even though it’s private, it still gets views. Private codes are supposedly only accessible if you share the link, but even without sharing the link, they still get views. This is because each time you access your own code it increments view count by 11.

If you want to make your code public on Sololearn, head over to your profile then “code bits” tap on the three dots (options) on the right hand side of the code you want to make public and select “make public” option2.

Answer 8

Where do you have your code?

Answer 9

Dabbichuks I would say you are seeing your views then 😉

Dabbichuks you can read more about it on Sololearn.com hope it helps ❤️
