  I published a new post, but it didn’t publicize anywhere. It’s setup correctly because it’s worked before until the post I completed today. It’s not just one place that it won’t publicize too, it’s all of them! WordPress reconfigured things again and now it doesn’t work. :(

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

  Facebook has had issue these last couple of days.

  Please consult Common Reasons Why a Post Failed to Publicize
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#common-reasons-why-a-post-failed-to-publicize

  Post the snippet and link manually To Facebook to save time first and then proceed as follows.

  1. Try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

  2. Try the full reconnect procedure again detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-services

  Note: RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti can be used for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer. RSS Graffiti periodically checks the RSS/Atom feeds that you specify and posts any new entries it finds to the Facebook Walls that you specify. You can get any feed written on any wall (Facebook Profiles, Fan Pages, Groups, Events and Application Profile Pages). In fact, multiple feeds to multiple walls. You choose the combination.

  Please note that reconnecting Publicize with Facebook and/or with Twitter does not re-publicize missed posts, but it will work for future posts.

  I wish the WordPress people could have informed us of the issue since we get posts for themes, new stuff, and great posts. I wasted too much time trying to get a single post up because I didn’t know there were problems on the site. With more writing to do, efficiency is key.

  I don’t understand why you’d expect WordPress staff to alert you to a problem with Facebook.

  The way I became aware of the Facebook issues was by reading raincoaster’s forum posts.

  Raincoaster if you read the initial post you’d see it’s about publicizing and that includes publicizing to facebook.
