Publicize with Facebook Not Functioning
-
Publicize will not allow me to add Facebook pages or my profile. This had not been a problem until recently. My Facebook pages were linked via Publicize in the past but have been mysteriously removed. I wish to re-establish (re-add) those Facebook pages but when I attempt to; I receive a blank web page page.
Suggestions?
Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. I’d suggest completely disconnecting and reconnecting.
Go to Settings ->Sharing and disconnect Facebook there. Next go to your Facebook Settings and remove WordPress from your authorised apps on Facebook. (I’m guessing this step might be the reason it won’t allow you to reconnect.) Next, clear your browser cache and cookies. Then go to Settings ->Sharing and try to connect Facebook again.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried the steps you suggested. I still get a blank page on Facebook when trying to add distribution of my blog. Still seeking a remedy.
Again, thank you for responding.

Do you get this blank page on your WordPress.com dashboard when you try to connect Publicze, or on Facebook when you share a post?
If this happens on Facebook it might help to clear your Facebook cache. Insert your blog’s URL at this link to do that: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
You can also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, and also try using a different browser and see if that makes any difference. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
If none of that helps, please let us know exactly what browser and version you’re using (https://www.whatismybrowser.com/). Also please explain exactly where you encounter this error. It might further help if you can provide a screenshot. (You can’t post a screenshot directly here, but you can upload it to a service like http://snag.gy/ and then provide the link here.)

Thanks for the continued help.
I cleared the cache on all my browsers plus did the de-bug on Facebook link you provided; and the problem persists.
I’ve also discovered that Linked-In is having a similar issue in which I receive an error page and the message reads to “try again later.”
Here are links to the screen shots when I try to re-establish links to Facebook for automatically sharing new blog posts when posted:

Publicize will only autopost new posts and if posts have been missed then you have to post them manually to each social network.
http://www.paulrussell.net/ is not a WordPress.COM hosted blog and we do not provide support for it here. Is it the blog in question?

TimeTheif; thank you for the keyboard courage slap of my wrists but you are mistaken. PaulRussell.net is the host to the screen shots that kokkieh requested.

There was no courage nor any or ill will involved here. Like all of the Volunteers who began volunteering after I did I am here to help and like all human beings I make mistakes from time to time. Thanks for thinking the best of every attempt that any volunteer makes to help. -
@prcasting
Are you having the Publicize issue on http://www.paulrussell.net/ or http://answersforactors.wordpress.com/ ? Just to clear up any confusion, for I would have drawn the same conclusion as Timethief.If your problem is in fact on paulrussel.net, then we can’t help you here and you’ll need to post in the WordPress.org forum. If this issue is on answersforactors.wordpress.com, then please confirm that.

This is just to let you know that I started with the domain helper: There is no domain mapping upgrade for paulrussel.net. Then I moved on to searching the underlying info.
paulrussel.net is hosted by YHC Corporation

@timethief
I’m with you. As I said, I would have drawn the same conclusion from the second URL the OP provided. It’s always confusing if users start a thread with one URL and then bring a second URL into it. -
So basically… you guys are more concerned about where a screen shot is than helping to solve a problem. NEXT!
-
No, we’re trying to figure out which site you want help with as you still have not clarified that for us despite both Timethief and I asking you to do that. How about you calm down and realise we’re actually trying to help here, but if you provide confusing information, like URLs of multiple sites we’re going to ask for clarification.
