  I got notified by a friend that he doesn’t see the http://wiert.me posts in the https://www.facebook.com/jpluimers timeline any more.

  Even though all sheduled posts (about 140 of them) are marked for sharing on facebook and the my wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharing incidates sharing to FaceBook is OK, it hasn’t shared a thing since august 1st.

  What’s up?

  sharing and Publicize are two different things. You have to manually Share. Publicize is automatic.

  Facebook continuously changes things and you may have to disconnect the Publicize to Facebook, clear your Facebook Cache, and reconnect.

  @raincoaster how do I clear my Facebook cache?

  The /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharing page is a bit confusing: the title is “sharing,” but it is indeed about “publicizie”. In that page, Facebook is connected, and all my posts are marked as publicize to Facebook.

  Lets see if http://wiert.me/2012/09/27/facebook-test/ worked…

  Yup it worked: https://www.facebook.com/jpluimers/posts/4571650099872

  No need to clear the Facebook cache.
