  Hi there!

  Can you tell me what trouble you’re having connecting your WordPress.com site to Facebook?

  hi!! yes!
  when i go to the FB auto publish it then prompts me to go into FB and try to creat an app for what I’m trying to do.
  and then I am supposed to become a developer …
  honestly its so complicated i dont even know how to describe it
  what do you think???

  Hmm. I’m not sure I know what you mean by “go to the FB auto publish”. Are you in Settings > Sharing?

  You shouldn’t have to become a developers. It sounds like Facebook thinks you’re trying to use their auto publish feature in a program you’re creating. Can you try following the steps here and see if they work?

  Hi there!

  Here’s a direct link to your sharing settings:

  https://chrissamarkos.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharing

  Are you able to access that?

  Live chat is only available for users with the Business plan. Although we’re experimenting with bringing it to more users.

  Thanks for that clarification. This forum is specifically for sites hosted here at WordPress.com, but I think I can point you in the right direction.

  In order to set up your self hosted WordPress.org site to automatically share with your Facebook followers, you can install the free plugin Jetpack that’s created by our team here at WordPress.com.

  Once you’ve installed and enabled Jetpack, you can follow these steps to set up Facebook Publicize:

  Let me know if I can help further.
