Facebook Publicize not working

  • Unknown's avatar

    I appear to be having a problem with the Publicize feature. I had set it up so that it was connected to my Facebook and Twitter account, but all of a sudden it seems to have stopped working for Facebook. When editing/writing an entry, it says that to enable Facebook Publicize I have to allow Facebook access, which I already have. But when I click on the link offered in the sidebar, it doesn’t do anything, it just takes me to the dashboard, and nothing has changed. This is REALLY frustrating now, and I’m not entirely sure what’s going on! I have double checked that I haven’t blocked the WordPress app on Facebook by accident or something, and I just really want to know what the problem is! Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Note that Facebook frequently changes things at their end. Twitter is frequently a fail whale overload situation. Have you tried reconnecting to publicize using this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook
    If that does not work for you then alternatively you can use Networked Blogs http://www.networkedblogs.com/ or RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer.

    Ah, thanks so much! That guide was perfect :) I hadn’t found that before when looking through the help section, obviously not looking hard enough. All working now, so thank you very much for your help!
