  When I post links to articles from Movie Fail on Facebook, the post includes the words “Movie Fail” and “By ____” (where the ____ is the author) below the article description.

  However, for the past few days, Facebook has been misattributing these articles to the wrong author. One article will be by Josh and then Facebook will say it’s “By Nate,” and so on. Any ideas on what might be messing this up?

  Here’s an example.

  Thanks for the help!

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

  Hi there,
  This is the WordPress.COM support forum. You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with your site because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  Hello timethief. Thank you for the correction. I followed a link from WordPress.org and somehow found myself here. I will post the same inquiry on WordPress.org support; feel free to close this thread.
