How do I install plugins?

Are you trying to publicize to a personal profile, a Page, or a Group? Publicize doesn’t work with Groups and we generally recommend RSS Graffiti or Networked Blogs.
Using Word shouldn’t interfere, but instead of Word, use Windows Live Writer, which works much better. It looks and feels like Word, but you can categorize and tag and upload images etc. And it’s free.

Raincoaster – to a personal profile. It used to work at one point, then timeline happened, then I was saw something from Facebook that it would no longer publish notes from wordpress, but would instead publish a link to the blog post. that’s not working either.
Any of that sound familiar?

I don’t use Publicize or any robo-posting apps, because FB automatically downgrades them in others’ news feeds. To increase the likelihood that someone other than you will read your posts, manually add the links. But you can also use RSS Graffiti which TT uses, or Networked Blogs, which I used to use. They both work for pages, groups, or profiles.

RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti
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. -
Raincoaster and Timethief – thank you for your answers but I’m confused by both of your posts.
All I want is to write a blog post on WordPress, and have it show up on my Facebook profile. I thought this was a simple feature of WordPress, called publicize, where a post will show on twitter, linked in, and/or Facebook. Currently, even clicking “publicize” on my post draft, it does not show up in Facebook. It does show up on LinkedIn.
Do either of you write posts that then show up on your Facebook profile?
-
Yes. I manually post them, and TT uses RSS Graffiti instead of the Publicize option.
If you want to use Publicize, and it used to work and is not working now, what you’ll have to do is disconnect your FB on your Publicize settings, flush the FB cache, and then re-connect it. http://hypertransitory.com/blog/2010/10/29/getting-your-facebook-share-out-of-facebook-cache-hell-2/
