Cannot add wordpress.com facebook app

    I’m unable to add the wordpress.com facebook app. Clicking “Go to application” on the “wordpress.com” page in facebook brings me out of facebook to the page http://www.wordpress.com. With other apps clicking “Go to application” brings me to the facebook page that allows me to add the application. I’ve used this app in the past and want to add it again (though I haven’t blocked it).

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello there.
    I’m sorry but I don’t know which Facebook app you are referring to and what it’s for. Are you aware of these?

    If you are referring to Publicize these troubleshooting steps may result in success:

    1. Log into your WordPress.com blog. Go to your blog’s dashboard -> “My Blogs” -> uncheck “Facebook” under “Publicize”. (On the “My Blogs” page, make sure you’re looking at the correct row for the blog in question.)

    2. Reload the page and confirm that the Facebook checkbox is unchecked.

    3. Log into your Facebook account. Go to “Account” (upper right corner) -> “Application Settings”. Remove “WordPress.com” by clicking the “X” in its row. (If there is no WordPress.com row, don’t worry, just skip this step).

    4. Log *back* into your WordPress.com blog. Go to your blog’s dashboard -> My Blogs -> *reclick* “Facebook” under “Publicize”.

    5. Wait for the popup appear that asks you to “Authorize connection with Facebook”. Click that button.

    6. You’ll be taken to Facebook and asked to “Allow” several pieces. Allow them all.

    Thanks. This second set of instructions is what I needed. Do you know if it’s possible to change the publish settings so that an entire blog post appears in Facebook, rather than just the first few lines of the post?

    No that can’t be done, sorry.
