  My facebook connection is not working. When I post a new blog it does not appear on FB; I am only able to post it to my FB page by then clicking on the share to FB button in the completed blog. What’s happening?

  I have ALREADY verified that all is still set up for this connection, FB account linked, etc.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  1. Try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

  2. (a) Try the full reconnect procedure again detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook including step 3 (removing the FB app), which is probably the most important step.
  (b) http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-twitter

  3. See also publicize troubleshooting http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#troubleshooting

  Note: RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti can be used for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer. 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.

  Please note that reconnecting Publicize with Facebook and/or with Twitter does not re-publicize missed posts, but it will work for future posts.

  This is definitely a recurring problem between FB/WP. I have been using the publicize feature for over two years and the integration is unpredictable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and for varying lengths of time. I am completely familiar with the procedures to setup the sharing and publicize options, and the problems many of us are experiencing do not have anything to do with how we set things up; it stops working for no apparent reason after it had been working seamlessly. The only way to get it to work again with FB is to remove the connection and then re-associate WP with your FB account/page.

  Many of the bloggers I know who use WP experience this exact same problem. This is a very annoying, ongoing problem and I wish WP and FB would get together and try to resolve this issue once and for all.
