  Hi there,

  Can you share a link to the post that didn’t publicize on Facebook? That way I can take a closer look at it for you to see what happened.

  Please keep in mind that a post will only be publicized when it is first published on your blog, so when you go back to update the post it won’t be publicized even if you check the box again at that point. (For posts that are already published, if it wasn’t publicized correctly the first time you’ll need to manually share it on Facebook.)
