Publicize Took Liberties with My Posts

  I maintain two FB accounts. They are separate because one exists SOLELY to manage the social pages for my JOB. WordPress CONNECTED that account without my knowledge simply because I log on from my personal Mac from time to time for work. I NEVER, NOT ONCE, EVER explicitly authorized that connection. NEVER. And I’ve come to find out you asses FOUND me on other social networks and connected those too. Thank goodness those aren’t work accounts, though come the F*** on. Really? Did it occur to ANYONE over there that MAYBE I have social accounts I DON’T want to connect to this blog?

  Hopefully I’ve managed to kill those posts from my WORK account before getting in trouble because this is a PERSONAL blog. I’m pretty steamed about this – not allowing me to use Google Fonts was one strike, this is number two. One more strike and I’m taking the service I PAY FOR elsewhere.

  I’m really, really mad about this.

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

  Hi there,

  I’m so sorry that this happened. Please note that the way Publicize works is when you decide to authorize the connection, it will connect to the Facebook account you are currently logged into. What might have happened was that you were logged into your work Facebook account when you authorized the connection. We actually wouldn’t be able to authorize a connection if you were not logged into the account already. I apologize for the confusion.

  If you are not logged into Facebook when you are trying to connect, we will prompt you to log in. What I suggest is completely logging out of Facebook (both accounts) first. Then, go to Settings > Sharing in your Dashboard. When you connect your Facebook account, there will be a prompt to log in. Then you can make sure that you are logging into correct account.
