Problem with Facebook

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have my blog set to automatically post every new post to my facebook page. For some unknown reason it stopped working. When I try to do it manually I get an error message from facebook saying that:

    “This message contains blocked content that has previously been flagged as abusive or spammy. Let us know if you think this is an error”

    Anyone have this problem? Thanks, Karen

    The only time I have had this problem is if I was on a network that either A) had a firewall preventing auto share. or B) One that blocked Facebook as a whole.

    So I suggest checking firewalls and browser plugins if Facebook is accessible on your network. If facebook is not accessible on your current network, then you have found your problem right there.

    What method are you suing to post snippets of your posts and links to Facebook please? Are you using Publicize? http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

    I am having a similar problem, except that both WordPress.com and Facebook tell me that they are connected, but the post never gets publicized on Facebook. It worked once or twice, and then stopped working. I tried removing the connection and re-connecting them, as it suggests on the support page for Publicize, but it still doesn’t do any good. For some reason, when I am asked to confirm the connection on Facebook, I am only asked one thing (simply to allow the connection), not 3 like the support page says.

    I have been posting to facebook through the shared settings page. It has worked for many weeks it just stopped the last couple of days.

    I get the following error message from facebook if I click on the facebook share button on my post:

    “This message contains blocked content that has previously been flagged as abusive or spammy. Let us know if you think this is an error”

    This is all new to me. Did someone perhaps tell facebook my posts were spam?

    Hmm, well, I just tried it again and this time, I had to go to the individual page for the post and click the Publicize: Facebook box. How can I get it to do that without me having to tell it to every time?

  • Please try reconnecting Facebook Publicize following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook
