  Once you have connected your blog to Facebook it will only automatically publish new posts. To share old posts you can share the link manually on Facebook or click the Facebook share button on your post if enabled. If not enabled you can turn them on at wordpress.com/sharing/buttons

  Here is the Facebook integration support page https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/

  This is the result of clicking your username link
  https://stiles4.wordpress.com doesn’t exist

  What is the URL starting with http:// of the site you refer to?

  Please do not assume that everyone who posts here is posting to the correct support forum. About 30% are posting to thw ewrong e.

  Before you answer any question here you have to confirm the URL of the site referred to and verify where it is hosted. If you don’t do that you waste time, confuse bloggers, and you can provide incorrect answers, as most are not clear on the differences between wordpress.COm hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs.

  After you confirm that URL referred to and where the site is hosted if you are dealing with a wordpress.COm hosted site please use tag search and Google search to locate the most recent correct answers posted by experienced Volunteers and Staff.
