Hi there,
I checked that post on the Facebook Sharing Debugger and it notified me that this post was never shared before.
Can you walk me through the steps you took to share that post on Facebook so I can better understand what went wrong?

fstat (I don’t know if this is your name or not),
I have screenshots but can’t attach here. I have to describe in text.
1, I clicked the three dots on the right of the post, then select the “Share” on the pop up box
2, Click “Publicize”, got multiple options including Facebook, I clicked the “Connect” on the right of the Facebook.
3, I clicked the “Continue”, all disappeared without any message. But nothing showed up on my Facebook.However, I found that the site had a “Coming soon” under its name, I thought that the site was not activated. I did activate yesterday afternoon, and redid the above. After I clicked the “Connect”, I got “Sharing posts to your Facebook page”, which was opening, and still pending after at least 15 hours passed. I tried to share the post to my Twitter, I have the same situation, “Sharing” process has been pending for 15+ hours.

I see both connections (Facebook and Twitter) as active and without errors. So, you should be able to share your posts.
Please try one more time and your posts are still not shared, then reconnect the services by following these instructions:

I couldn’t follow the instruction for “Reconnecting -Facebook”, because the instruction says “Log into your Facebook account. Then go to your Facebook Account Settings → Business Integrations page by clicking this Business Integration Settings link”, my Account Settings has no “Business Integrations” page, link, sign or anything. What I have under Account Settings:
Language and Region
Location
Ads Payments
Facebook PayCouldn’t do what the instruction says.

@amazingchinesecalligraphy — just to clarify, are you sharing this link?
https://wordpress.com/post/amazingchinesecharacters.wordpress.com/868That is a link to your editor page, and it won’t publish on Facebook. But if you share this link it will work:
https://amazingchinesecharacters.wordpress.com/2021/01/10/amazing-chinese-characters-326-old-days-%e6%98%94/Regarding connecting Facebook, the link you shared is an individual profile, and the Publicize feature only works with Facebook Pages. But you should be able to just copy and past the post link to your profile if you’d like.
You can also use short links if you prefer:

Supernovia,
Your right, the second link works.
However, how could I get the shareable page? I clicked “Preview”, got the similar page but no sharing links of Facebook, Twitter.

Hi @amazingchinesecalligraphy,
For any published post, you can copy its shareable link by clicking on the three ⋮ dots, as shown here:
Hope that helps.

Hi there,
You’ll want to click Copy Link instead.
If you click View, it opens the in-dashboard preview, and from there you’ll then have to click “Visit Site” as well to get to the shareable link :)
