How do I control publicize options?
-
There seems to be a bug in the post editor. When I write a post I make sure to check the two social media sites I have connected — Facebook and Tumblr — but when I save a draft the boxes are unchecked. And even if they’re checked when I hit “Publish,” nothing is posted either to my Facebook page or to my Tumblr blog. This is a problem I’ve only run in to today … posts to my Facebook page have generally worked fine, and I only just today connected Tumblr. Would be grateful for any help, thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What browser are you using? I think I recall another person saying it happened in one browser but not the other. Can’t remember which he was saying worked, though, Firefox or Chrome.

Are you using the new Beep Beep Boop editor?

I’m having the same issue. Posted about it. Was working fine until yesterday and then it stopped working. I’m also using Chrome. Tired resetting the connection numerous times.

The Classic Editor will continue to exist in wp-admin. We know some users prefer to use this editor, so we want you to have access to it, instead of phasing it out with the new version of the Dashboard. However, a link to the Classic Editor will not return to the New Editor.

Dashboard > Posts > Add New
Though Staff removed the link in the new editor to the classic editor there are two workarounds that can be used found here:

Hi timethief and dezieldzl,
Thanks for your help, both. Had wondered if the old editor might be a workaround so was glad to see your replies. Just tried it out and publicize worked fine.
So I have that option. I do prefer the new editor, though, so I hope the staff at WordPress will eventually address what must surely be a glitch.
Will stay subscribed to this thread and hope for good news …
Thanks again!

We had a bug with the Publicize feature for about 24 hours. If you update the post with the sharing options checked, notifications will go out.
