Facebook Publicize posting to personal timeline and not selected page!
-
I recently set up the Publicize tool for my company’s blog to post news stories to our company’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/TrustedInsight. This worked perfectly until this morning, when it started posting the stories to my personal Facebook account instead. I disabled the Facebook connection, and re-created it, explicitly telling WordPress.com to post to the Trusted Insight page.
It still posted to my personal timeline. I’ve disabled the Facebook publicize feature for my company’s blog until this is worked out. Please fix or advise.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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-facebook including step 3 (removing the FB app), which is probably the most important step.
3. See also publicize troubleshooting http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#troubleshooting
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.

I’ve been unable to get RSS Grafitti to work. Attempting to access the app results in a blank Facebook page for me.
I’ve just tried 2. I’ll let you know if that works.

Even after completely disconnecting and reconnecting, it is still posting to my personal timeline.

What makes you assume this issue is at this end please?
Have you checked at Facebook help/support? -
I’m using WordPress’s Facebook app, and it’s posting to the wrong thing. If I contact Facebook, it won’t do any good for me because I can’t fix the app.

I have the same issue. I’m using jetpack > Publicize. I have done what you indicate, but remains the same

Same issue here:
This morning all of the posts created on my blog are being sent to my personal Facebook Page. I have designated posts to be sent to my Fan Page in Publicize but they are not getting sent there. I did not make any changed between last night (when they were posting properly) and this morning. I did add a new admin on both the blog and Facebook page recently but they have page management access as well. What do I need to do to make it start posting directly to my page again and not my personal profile?
The Facebook Page it should be posting to is Share the Savings Canada.
The blog I need help with is sharethesavings2011.wordpress.com.

I was asked to post the very same issue you all are experiencing on this thread. I haven’t had this problem at all till today. My posts from WordPress.com are being publicized to my personal facebook profile rather than my facebook page. I have disconnected and reconnected the facebook sharing options and confirmed that my wordpress blog is connected to the facebook page for publicizing purposes. I have also removed the wordpress app from facebook and reinstalled it. All attempts have met no success.
It may seem as though there is an internal issue with WordPress’ publicizing option for facebook pages if we all are experiencing the same problem today. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :-)

Also having the same problem, which started this morning. The first two posts were fine from 8am EST but everything that followed went to my personal FB.

I too am having the same problem that everyone else is complaining about. I have disconnected and reconnected to FB, under different administrators, but it is still posting to the administrator’s personal FB profile rather than to our org’s page.

Hi there,
Thank you all for getting a hold of us about this issue. Our developers have been working on it and it should now be resolved.
You may want to disconnect and reconnect your accounts to Facebook via Publicize just to make sure that they are publishing as they should, and you can read how to do so at this help article:

Thank you all for your patience!
