  I have connected, disconnected, reconnected, disconnected, and reconnected my WP blogs to my Facebook and Twitter accounts multiple times. I am doing everything correctly but blogs that I post will not publish on my FB page. I really need your help to fix this. Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Tried again. Still not working. Looks like staff support is gone until the end of Sept?

  Please consult Common Reasons Why a Post Failed to Publicize
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#common-reasons-why-a-post-failed-to-publicize

  Post the snippet and link manually To Facebook to save time first and then proceed as follows.

  1. Try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

  2. Try the full reconnect procedure again detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-services

  3. Another way to help Facebook update its cache faster is to enter the link in its debugger here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

  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.

  Thanks for this. However, I did all of these steps and nothing changes. This is not the first time this has happened. It’s almost as if when I can get it to work, it works only for a limited period, say a month, then it times-out. It’s probably easier to just post manually because trouble shooting this is taking a ton of time.

  You aren’t alone as autoposting can cause multiple reconnections. However, what have you actually lost given the fact? Posting manually is by far more effective as a post/blog promotion technique. This is especially true if you are posting unique snippets and links and only posting them to relevant social networks, rather than using the autoposting of the same snippet and link across multiple social networks that I refer to as the shotgun approach to post/blog promotion.

  I am also experiencing this with my Blog so much so that I am thinking of moving it to another blog website. I always schedule my blogs to save time, however this isn’t the case because I always have to go in and manually post them to FB & Twitter. This has been ongoing for a number of weeks now.

  I like being able to personalize the share manually in some cases, but if I’m traveling and need to schedule something because I won’t have internet access, it would be nice to be able to count on this feature.
