Publicize Contributor posts to FB under Admin
-
Hi, I know someone else asked about this recently in a Staff Question forum. The problem: Admins can’t publicize their contributors’ posts to a FB fan page. Take my WP page for instance. It’s about a collaborative effort to make a comic book. The comic book has its on FB page. The writer, the artist, the colorist, etc., is going to post regularly on the WP blog to keep all our friends updated on our project. We want these updates to post the FB page too, so people can follow there if they want. Multiple contributors (not all with FB accounts), one admin, one FB page with one admin. So either the admin has to cut and paste the new post to the FB page manually, or ask their contributor to connect their WP accounts to the Fan Page…using the admin’s personal account info. Or perhaps their own, but then they would have to be be made admins of the FB fan page. Either way, the admin has to give the contributor admin-acces to the FB page, or let contributor use admin’s personal FB account usr/pass in contributor’s WP account. Both unacceptable and huge problems in my opinion that can be easily remedied by allowing contributor posts to be publicized to FB by the admin and admin’s FB account. Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Admins can’t publicize their contributors’ posts to a FB fan page.
Publicize:
Facebook Pages
If you would like to Publicize your posts to your Facebook page, instead of your Facebook profile, click on the “Set Options” link underneath Facebook on your Settings > Sharing page. You will need to connect your blog to Facebook first. You will need to use a Facebook account that has a Profile with administrative rights to the Page.
Note: A Page-only account can not be used with Publicize. The Facebook account must have a profile. http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#facebook
Alternatively you can use Networked Blogs http://www.networkedblogs.com/ or RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti 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.

That was a fast response! Thanks! But, right, yes, I guess I’m just wondering why they won’t allow admins to do this…and hoping that they will someday.
