  Sharing to facebook doesn’t work. I see others (at fb) successfully using this feature, but it doesn’t seem to work for me.

  Sharing to Tumblr does work, though.

  Thanks,
  Linda

  Are you using Sharing, ie the little individual buttons, or Publicize, ie the automatic posting to facebook? What FB page or profile are you connecting it to? We need the exact link.

  Using Publicize, off the Settings item on the dashboard menu.

  Hey.. just a thought that might help… I have found that sometimes the link to FB stops working… (this is assuming it has worked for you before)… Its irritating to do this every so often but I have found that removing the FB Publisize option and re-creating it in the WP sharing section “refreshes” the feature so that it works again.

  The alternative is to use that FB app that fetches posts via RSS RSS.Graffiti – that always works – it just has a delay so the post is not immediately shown on FB…

  Hope this helps…

  Lanceolot, removing and recreating the FB sharing option didn’t work for me. However, removing the option and then removing the WP app in FB and then recreating the option DID work!

  Thanks!

  1. Try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

  2. (a) 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.
  (b) http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-twitter

  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.

  Please note that reconnecting Publicize with Facebook and/or with Twitter does not re-publicize missed posts, but it will work for future posts.

  I did try removing and reconnecting from the publicize area. Didn’t work.

  I’ll try some of these ideas with my next post. Thanks for all the great feedback!
