  Hi there,

  This is correct. Facebook does not allow external services like WordPress.com to connect and auto-share to personal profiles. Facebook only allows that type of connection to Facebook Pages, as we explain here:

  Hi !!

  From August 1, 2018, Facebook is making a change to their platform: third-party tools can no longer automatically share posts to Facebook Profiles. This includes Publicize. If you’ve connected a Facebook Profile to your site, then Publicize will no longer be able to share your new posts to Facebook automatically, and you won’t be able to make a new connection to a Facebook Profile. Sharing to Facebook Pages will continue to work as before.
