How do I set sharing to Google , Facebook, Twitter? Adding G broke the others.
-
Changed Sharing to include the new Google+ feature. Prior setting was to share on Facebook and Twitter. Now none of these services work. I made two new posts one two days ago shortly after the feature was announced, the other today. Prior to that, the sharing on Twitter and Facebook worked as expected. Any suggestions as to what I should do to try to fix the problem?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Ludwig – Which of your sites is this on? Can you please try refreshing your connections to these services as described here:

My blog with the sharing problem is galleryludwig.wordpress.com I have several other blogs but have not made any posts since the G+ connection problem.
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I disconnected the sharing in WordPress. Then I made the disconnect in Facebook, cleaned cookies. Google+ did not show WordPress. I then added these back to Settings > Sharing – They show as connected. In Facebook and also in Google+ WordPress is now shown. Only one problem: I did a test post. It did not show up in Twitter, did not show up in Facebook, did not show up in Google+ :-( -
So I tried again, reset sharing as before. My post did not appear anywhere. So I disconnected Google+ sharing. Another post. This one showed up on Twitter and Facebook as before. So for me setting G+ sharing disabled all sharing. Turning off G+ re-enables sharing to Twitter and Facebook.
Like it or not, my friends, there is still a bug to be squashed. My enthusiastic comment on the announcement post stuck in “review” for days – it did mention this bug. Finally the comment was deleted. We are touchy, aren’t we?! -
Hi Ludwig – I’m able to reproduce this, but only when publishing new posts from the WordPress.com homepage: http://wordpress.com/post/
I’ve opened a bug report for this issue, and will keep you updated. Can you please check to see if your publicize connections work if you publish from your Dashboard here:

Indeed when posting from the Dashboard the connections work great. When posting via Live Writer the sharing does not work with Google+ included. Without G+ it works properly.

Hi Ludwig – Ok, thanks for confirming, and for reporting this! I’ll keep you updated on the bug report. :)
