On Facebook: I hid my sister’s posts, but now I want to unhide. Can it be undone? ---

Scroll all the way to the bottom, click “Edit Options” and check your sister back. ---

If you do that, your sister will get a notice suggesting that she friend you. If this is an issue, create a new identity with a new name and e-mail address, and try to check out her posts from this fake new identity. ---

**Krokodil** - I don’t believe you’re correct. Hiding and unhiding just manages your newsstream (or whatever it’s called). No one else knows what you’ve hidden or unhidden. What you describe happens if you’ve unfriended someone and then go to friend them again. ---

If this is an issue, create a new identity with a new name and e-mail address, and try to check out her posts from this fake new identity. Nope. His sister is already his friend - he just has her hid. ---

No one else knows what you’ve hidden or unhidden. What you describe happens if you’ve unfriended someone and then go to friend them again. That is correct. Hiding and unfriending (or blocking) are two different actions. ---

Thanks, all. The first recommendation seems to have done it, although FB could have used a more recognizeable check mark to click (or unclick).
