  I would like to see the number of likes on my Facebook page to be shown in the Publicize followers total. My blog publishes very well to a page under my profile and I’m getting a lot of likes, however Publicize only shows 1 follower from Facebook – which is from my profile and not the page.

  Can Publicize be configured to read the total number of likes on my FB page because these are the FB users who will get my posts in their newsfeeds.

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

  Hi Stephen.

  My understanding is that you’re right, the number should reflect the number of likes on the page, rather than the number of people following your profile.

  Could you try disconnecting and then reconnecting the Facebook connection? I’m seeing a few errors on our end that may be related to a password change on your Facebook account. If you can connect to your page again, we can check to see if this resolves itself and the numbers refresh:

  If that doesn’t work, let me know, and I can pass this onto the team behind the sharing options and they’ll dig in deeper.

  Hi siobhyb,
  That did it! The correct number is coming through now.

  Thanks for the advice. :-))
