Can't post links to my WP blog on Facebook

  Since the automated share on Facebook has been deactivated for a while, I tried to post a link to my last article directly on my FB wall. It didn’t work, I got a message saying that the website was going against FB’s “community standards”, whatever that is. It’s an article about David Lynch’s Dune, I don’t see how that would violate FB’s mysterious community standards.
  I tried posting the previous article, in case the FB filter would be triggered by certain words. I had been able to share it last month when I posted the article, but this time it was blocked again.

  Any idea how to solve that?
  Thanks.

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

  You must contact FB support as wordpress.com is in no way related to FB.

  Considering that I know I’m not the only WP user who has the problem, I figured maybe someone had clues. Because contacting Facebook is about as easy as contacting the Pope. Well, no, I’m pretty sure the Pope actually has secretaries to answer his mail.

  Hi there,

  I’m afraid we’re not able to help with this.

  Facebook randomly blocking WordPress.com URLs have been happening for a while, but when we did try reaching out to Facebook about it directly at one point we never received any response from them. So the only advice I have is to keep trying to contact Facebook support – only they have control over how their internal policies are implemented.
