    Nope. Still not posting to Facebook, still says I still need to authorize it, still won’t connect even though everything say’s it is. Except that it isn’t.

    I installed Chrome and went through the process again. It may have gone this time. Still not sure yet. But at least with Chrome, when I click on the link for the Facebook Options in my sharing panel of the WP controls, I get a full dialogue box, not just the title bar.

    @ldmartin1959 and ldmartin1959

    I’m so sorry this is not working for you. Would you like to try an alternate method? 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.

    timethief, we posted at the same time. As you can see, I think I have gotten things to work. I am suspecting that there is something about the Facebook Configuration settings dialogue box that is incompatible with some browsers/configurations. Safari’s popup blocker isn’t very flexible and perhaps that was causing the problems there (although why I could see the title bar to the pop-up but not the contents is perplexing) but Firefox should have at least given notification of a blocked pop-up. Or perhaps it is getting caught in an ad-blocker setting somewhere because of the way it is coded. Don’t know. But it is definitely an issue that needs to be looked at since it is apparent from other posts from the past (with solutions provided) that I am not the only one to whom this has happened.

    Well, I’m glad I got it resolved, even if it did mean I had to install Chrome.

    I’m experiencing similar problems. Everything was fine until a week or so ago. Now the Facebook connector doesn’t work. At that time I rebuilt my netbook and changed my default browser to Chrome.

    Deleting and reconnecting appeared to work. But I still got the “To enable Publicize: Facebook, you will need to authorize your …” message. However, clicking on the authorise link in Firefox (no cookies, no extensions) resolved the problem.

    I’m running a few Apps and extensions with Chrome, e.g. Tweetdeck, Adblock, Sync.
