  Hi there,

  I have noticed that last two posts on my blog didn’t share in facebook automatically. They made it to linkedin. Some people claim to gotten via email (i did as the admin) but many others did not who regularly receive the updates.

  Are there any tools to tell if something went wrong somewhere?

  Hello!

  The system that sends out the email notifications sends it to everyone on your followers list. This means if you received the notice, then everyone else on your list would’ve been sent the notifications. For those who said they didn’t receive the notice, have them check the spam/junk folder in their email program to make sure the messages weren’t filed there by mistake.

  Sometimes, the connection between Facebook and WordPress.com gets disconnected. Not to worry, the following steps should get you up and running again quickly.

  1. Log into your WordPress.com blog. Go to your blog’s dashboard -> Settings -> Sharing and click the X next to the link to the Facebook profile or page you wish to disconnect.
  2. Reload the page and confirm the link now says Create new Facebook connection, but don’t click that link yet.
  3. Log into your Facebook account. Then go to your Facebook Account Settings > Apps page by clicking this App Settings link.
  4. Remove the WordPress.com app by clicking the X in its row. (If there is no WordPress.com row, don’t worry, just skip this step). If you see a popup asking for confirmation, click the “Remove” button.
  5. Do not check the box to delete content created by WordPress.com. This will remove all previously publicized posts and there is no way to recover them.
  6. Log back into your WordPress.com blog. Go to your blog’s dashboard -> Settings -> Sharing and follow these steps to reconnect.

  I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
