    I built this blog over the weekend, and linked / authorized Twitter and Facebook connections.

    All was working fine, however as of this morning – none of my new blog posts show up on FB. Each time I try to post on the blog, I have to go through and re-authorize a connection to FB. When checking my FB account, the app IS authorized to connect, however that is not happening. Getting ready to go on the trip which is the purpose of this blog, and really need some help to make sure the blog posts show up on FB for my friends to see. Can you help?

    Tks.

    Do you (or anyone else) access any other WordPress.com accounts on the computer you’ve been using? There’s a remote possibility that WordPress.com somehow has you logged in to your site and some other account logged in to some other places on WordPress.com.

    Here’s a new (long and annoying) list of steps that would help us debug the problem. I’d appreciate it if you could try them out. It asks you to clear all browser cookies during step 6. That’s an important part of the debugging process, but might be annoying for you in your primary browser. If so, please go through these steps in a different browser.

    1. Log into your WordPress.com blog. Go to your blog’s dashboard -> “My Blogs” -> uncheck “Facebook” under “Publicize”.
    (On the “My Blogs” page, make sure you’re looking at the correct row for the blog in question.)

    2. Reload the page and confirm that the Facebook checkbox is unchecked.

    3. Explicitly log out of WordPress.com (“My Account” -> “Log Out” in the WordPress.com bar at the top of the page).

    4. Log into your Facebook account. Go to “Account” (upper right corner) -> “Application Settings”. Remove “WordPress.com” by clicking the “X” in its row. (If there is no WordPress.com row, don’t worry, just skip this step).

    5. Explicitly log out of Facebook (“Account” in the upper right -> “Logout”).

    6. *Clear all browser cookies*. This seems redundant, but there could be a bug in WordPress.com that left cookies on one of our other domains despite logging you out.

    7. Log *back* into your WordPress.com blog. Go to your blog’s dashboard -> My Blogs -> *reclick* “Facebook” under “Publicize”.

    8. Wait for the popup appear that asks you to “Authorize connection with Facebook”. Click that button.

    9. If you get an option while logging in to Facebook to “keep me logged in” during this authorization process, check it.

    10. You’ll be taken to Facebook and asked to “Allow” several pieces. Allow them all.

    Thanks for the patience
