Publishing Errors to Social Media

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’ve been having trouble with posts not publishing to Social Media outlets such as Twitter and Tumblr. I allowed another person to start writing for me, and from there that’s when the problem started. When the writer’s article published it didn’t hit the Twitter and Tumblr accounts. From there I have been having multiple issues trying to get content to populate there.

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

    Just to clarify, if you publish does the post get shared on Social Media, but not when the other writer publishes? If that is the case then the issue is because your WordPress.com account is connected to the Social Media account but not the whole blog.

    When you connect to a Social Media account through Publicize, you have a check box along the way to “Make this connection available to all users of this blog.” You will have to disconnect and reconnect to activate that switch.

    Ah okay cool. I just did that a couple of hours back. I think one post got lost in the translation, is there a way to republish it?

    When I mean republish I mean do the trigger share to it’s respective platforms.

    Glad to hear you figured it out and got things working. To my knowledge, their is no way to manually push an already published post to Social Media.

    You could always “unpublish” it and then publish again. Personally, I would not recommend that method and would just write off that one post as not shared, or manually go to the Social Media in question and manually enter the info.
