  I see that you’ve tried re-doing the Facebook connection a few times over the last day or so. When doing these reconnections, did you also disconnect the WordPress app in your Facebook settings?

  We have steps for that here:

  Often disconnecting and reconnecting just in your WordPress.com settings isn’t enough fully re-form the connection.

  OK well I’ve been and done all the disconnect/connect stuff again following the instructions on the link you gave me. But it began to talk about stuff like Google+ and said that if I disconnected then I would have to reconnect all the Google+ stuff. Since i do not even know what that is, it is a step too far for me. So what to do now? I have gone to my latest post because I want to publicize that one on my Facebook page, but I could not find the button at the bottom to say share. I am on the Beep Beep ‘bop page and hate it:) How can I get back to Classic and how can I get the share buttons back and how can I get back to Facebook?

  Correct, you don’t need to follow the Google+ instructions if you’re only needing to reconnect Facebook. I see that the connection got fully deleted and reset – I ran our test, and the connection looks good.

  So what to do now? I have gone to my latest post because I want to publicize that one on my Facebook page, but I could not find the button at the bottom to say share.

  On your most recent post you have the sharing buttons disabled. To enable them, edit the post here:

  https://sweffling.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=8491&action=edit

  Scroll down to the “Likes and Shares” module and make sure “Show sharing buttons” is checked. In the new editor (‘beep beep boop’ editor) this options is found under “Advanced Settings”.

  To use the classic editor instead of the new editor, you’ll need to navigate to your /wp-admin/ dashboard and edit the post from within there. I’d recommend saving browser bookmarks for your dashboard, your All Posts page (here), and your Add New Post page (here) to more easily get to the classic dashboard and editor.

  Thank you for this and for your patience. I have tried to do what you suggest but still cannot see more than one button on the bottom of my latest post, and that is the like button. Could you please check it and tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks very much.

  Checked your post and found that the “show sharing buttons” option was still unchecked:

  

  I’ve checked it for you and updated the post. Your sharing buttons now appear on that post.
