  My blog and facebook connection is not working. I tried the steps of disconnecting it and connecting it two times and it still does not work. I tried using the app to fetch the URL to be able to share it on facebook and the app isn’t able to fetch the URL to post it on my facebook. Is there a setting option I’m missing? I posted an entry last week and there was no problem. And even when I copy and paste the URL from my posts on my facebook profile, the wordpress preview doesn’t come up. Please aid me in resolving this vexing issues. Thanks so much.

  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.

  False alarm. I was too excited before even trying it out when I saw the word “Shared” next to my facebook account. I still can’t share it after following the steps yet again. As mentioned above, I do see the word “Shared,” but that’s about the only change I got.
