  As of October 26, 2012, the sharing features (Twitter and FaceBook), at the bottom of each of my posts, suddenly stopped working. And other things are affected too. When I post my blog to FB the graphics do not appear. And when someone wants to send my WP posts to FB, all they get is a url, and not the text that usually accompanies it. There is also no count on the FB button, and only a limited count on the TW button. Very frustrating. Would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

  I see the sharing buttons at the bottom of your posts, and I can see the last post was shared on Twitter four times.

  My posts are shared on twitter but the Facebook sharing and publicise this have been falling apart lately and now don’t work at all, as of the last couple of days.

  Before this, if publicise this didn’t work, I could share manually, but that’s not working either now and I get a we’ve got a problem message. Just when my sats have gone kaput due yo the domain purchase too!

  Hi there,
  1. Try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/
  2. Try the full reconnect procedure again detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook including step 3 (removing the FB app), which is probably the most important step.
  3. See also publicize troubleshooting http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#troubleshooting

  Note: RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti can be used for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer. RSS Graffiti periodically checks the RSS/Atom feeds that you specify and posts any new entries it finds to the Facebook Walls that you specify. You can get any feed written on any wall (Facebook Profiles, Fan Pages, Groups, Events and Application Profile Pages). In fact, multiple feeds to multiple walls. You choose the combination.

  Thanks Timethief … I’ll give that a go … if the current reset doesn’t work or, when it next fails!
