Hi there,
I just took a look at the Facebook account linked to your site with our Publicize feature, and I don’t see any posts there that were publicized from WordPress.com. I do see some older posts published by IFTTT that link back to asthescripturesays.blogspot.com.
Did you delete already delete the posts linking to asthescripturesays.wordpress.com? Or are those posts not public? It would help if I could see an example of one of the posts that has the wrong link in it, so I can look a little more closely at it.

Thanks Rachel.
I deleted some. But you may notice my most recent post (titled Esther 1-5….) has a link to this other blog site (asthe…). Very strange.
I just deleted my routes from dlvr.it and recipe from IFTTT. That should leave the wordpress publicise feature. I reconnected the facebook connection from wordpress. Maybe that will flush it out.
I will reply again if problems persist.

Hi there,
I’m not able to see any of the recent posts on your Facebook account — they may be restricted so only certain people (such as your friends) can see them. However, using just the Publicize feature (and not dlvr.it and IFTTT) to post to your Facebook account should fix the issue.
Do let me know if you continue to have trouble with this, and I’ll take another look. :)

I made them public on facebook for you. Problem still seems to be repeating itself. You may notice however the odd anomaly…

Thanks for making those public — now I see what’s going on. If you click on the title of the post there, it will take you to the correct link. However, below the post title is a line linking to http://asthescripturesays.wordpress.com.
That link comes from the web address listed in your account settings. You’ll need to update that web address in your account settings so it points to your blog’s address instead — you can make that change here: https://wordpress.com/settings/account/
That will fix the link that’s posted to Facebook on future posts you publish. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

Sorry I havent really looked into it recently but I’ve just noticed again that while my account settings do have http://thescripturesays.wordpress.com the address posted to FB is still http://asthescripturesays.wordpress.com.
-
I’m not able to see those recent posts (since they aren’t public) but it’s possible that Facebook saved the old information and is using that instead of updating with your new account settings.
Could you please try disconnecting and reconnecting Facebook in your blog’s sharing settings, as described here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-services
That may help Facebook refresh the information it’s using when it publicizes your blog posts. Please let me know how that goes!
