Make GM rolls public?

Seems to default to private rolls for the GM, is there a way to make them public or toggle it?

I'm assuming you're using the Roll20 5e sheet. Go to your game settings (outside the game, click on setting button then game setting) and scroll down to the sheet template. There is a setting you select there and that will make all new sheets roll what you selected. Now go inside the game and click on the settings tab. Scroll down to the bottom and click apply default settings. This will apply it to all current sheets.
Are you rolling from a character sheet?  It's likely that you have that character set to "Whisper to GM".   Here's where you need to adjust it for an NPC: Here's where you need to adjust it for a PC:

Here are my step by step instructions to all things whispered or not: Note that the whisper settings are attached to each individual sheet, there is no actual game setting. These instructions are for changing the defaults for all the character sheets in the game, then applying the settings to all existing sheets. Note that this will also change your PC sheets - you will have to manually change them to a different setting if one is preferred. Here are the ways to toggle this behavior: Always Whisper Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Always Whisper Rolls" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar. Never Whisper There's a bug in the game settings that doesn't recognize "Never Whisper Rolls", possibly because it is trying to write a blank value. The solution is to use Whisper Toggle. The default is public, so once this is set, all rolls should show. Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Whisper Toggle" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar. Query Whisper The default is public, so once this is set, all rolls should show by default unless you choose otherwise. Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Query Whisper" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar.    7. Have fun!
Yes, sorry for the lack of a detailed post. I am rolling as GM from NPC sheets. I had set the game general settings to "never whisper rolls", however @keithcurtis response seems to clarify there's a bug in that setting. I'm rolling for NPCs / creatures from the character sheets. For creatures I'm dragging and dropping from the compendium, however seems like I have to change a setting in the attribute around whisper rolls.
I'm wondering if there's a macro for me to turn on wtype = "" for all tokens?

I wouldn't bet the farm on that until I tested. The D&D 5th Edition by Roll20 Sheet has a spotty record with responding to settings toggled via the API.

If you follow the steps I gave, a compendium dropped creature should obey the setting. Is this not happening? Since this is a character setting and not a token setting, the steps should even affect creatures in journals.
