The only options I have are "Draft" and "Restricted"! I have no option to make the game that I uploaded public. The "Public" option is ALWAYS grayed out!

I Googled "itch.io cannot make game public" but only results telling me to select the "public" option came up. Nothing regarding unable to select "public"

Adding 'grayed out' to the search terms only got junk results. Still nothing with the "public" option being grayed out.

Anybody else having this issue?

Publish your game as draft first, then edit again and make it public once you think it’s ready. This design makes it harder for mistakes to make it onto your published page.

See above. As explained in the Getting Started FAQ:

Newly created pages are private by default to give you a chance to adjust the design of it until you're satisfied with it.
