sharing (linking) to facebook doesn't work
-
My latest blog “Update” shows that it is shared with facebook and facebook shows that it is connected but the post does not show on my facebook page. I tried over and over to connect with no success.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There may be a connection error with Publicize.
A suggestion is to use Facebook’s debug tool. This will force Facebook to refresh your images and/or posts that you shared.
Enter your URL here:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
If that does not work for you, you can also tag this thread with “modlook” to notify WordPress Staff so they are able to support you further.
Cheers!

On second thought, disregard the URL I suggested above.
I have just tagged this thread with “modlook” for you, so Staff are notified.
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused you!

Sorry, last one.
If you would like to learn more about publicize you can follow the link below:

@hankswarrenfamilytree I can confirm the problem with the last post was that your connection needed to be refreshed. Since you’ve done that now, it should work well going forward. Cheers :)
And thanks for your help here, @allykmyta.

Thanks so much for the refresh link to facebook,@allykmta. That’s a good link to have. Also thanks for referring to supernovia. Supernovia, thanks for checking and verifying a refresh was needed. I updated my latest post and it didn’t post on facebook so hopefully when I do a new one it will post. Again, many thanks to both of you. You are a priceless resource. Sue Warren Garley

Updating doesn’t necessarily repost to Facebook. Typically we just publicize the initial post (otherwise I know my friends would be flooded with notifications as I make minor modifications after posting). But if you struggle with your next new post, let us know.
Also, if you happen to change your Facebook password or other login credentials, you can go ahead and refresh your connection preemptively. Cheers!

It worked!!!!! Thanks so much for following up and especially for volunteering your experience. It means so much! Sue

Hi ! I’ve got the same problem (more or less). The connection with twitter isn’t a problem but facebook is useless. When I publish an article the link brokes and no way to have a notification on my facebook page.
Can you help ? -
Hi ereinark –
I’ll be happy to have a look. Can you send a link to a few of the posts that haven’t worked?
-
Thanks for answering.

or
https://bushskill.wordpress.com/2016/07/16/la-tete-dans-les-etoiles-et-les-pieds-sur-terre/for example. I made the last one’s link by myself.

Thanks –
I’ve run these through the Facebook debugging tool. This tool is publicly available to everyone via: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
This post is now linkable in Facebook and should show the constellation featured image in the link preview:
Please do a preview post on your Facebook account to verify.
The category link has never been shared on Facebook. What trouble were you having with that one?
If the problem is that your posts aren’t automatically publishing to Facebook, then my suggestion is to go ahead and remove the connection and reconnect it. Write back to me here if your next post does not automatically publish to your Facebook profile.
