  I keep having issues with my sharing connections on my blog.

  Last month I got a message saying I needed to re-connect to Facebook and every time I clicked the “re-connect” link it would fail, then suddenly it worked again after a few days.

  Now the problem is back but this time it is with Linked-In. Is there a known cause or solution anyone knows of, or do I just play the patience game again?

  Thanks in advance.

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

  Have you tried the disconnect the Publicize app and reconnect process outlined here? http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-linkedin

  Post the snippet and link manually to save time first and then proceed as follows.

  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
  (c) http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-linkedin

  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 or LinkedIn does not re-publicize missed posts, but it will work for future posts.

  Also if your blog is not a professional blog then autoposting to LinkedIn is not recommended. See here http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/blog-linkedin-profile/

  leeinblack, I’m having the same problems. LI went out today, so I did the X out on the settings>sharing instructions. But now I have no ‘add new’ connection button.

  Thanks for the replies and comments thus far.

  ncprism – Glad to see I’m not alone! :)

  I can confirm that I too do NOT have an “add new connection” option anywhere, and no amount of refreshing and cache/cookie clearing will change this. :-

  Oops! My bad.
