    Hi there,

    Take a look at this page for instructions on how to set up social media (including facebook) on your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

    If you’re still having difficulties let us know exactly what you’re trying to do and we’ll get you pointed in the right direction.

    Thank you. Finally figured out to just open PREVIEW after I create the post. THEN I can hit SHARE as if I’m a reader. Likely isn’t the best way as I should be able to configure so that any post automatically posts to FB. Oh well… I’m exhausted. Going to bed now.

    Ah, to set this up see the guide here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

    This will allow your posts to automatically post to facebook.

    I’ve done a test post and do not see a PUBLISH box as shown on this page of directives. No clue why. I’m tired. I’ll likely just keep doing it the other way. Hopefully a social media guru will come into my life soon to take over these tasks. Ugh…. Nothing ever seems to work the way it should. :-|

    Hmm, well we definitely want it to work like it should. Perhaps the Publish box is collapsed? If you notice on the image in the instructions there’s an arrow pointing up in the top right of the box. If you see an arrow pointing down on the right side of the input box click that and it should expand the Publish box to show as it does there.

    Hopefully in the morning things will work clearer, but if you’re still having difficulties then you can tag this thread for staff assistance by adding “modlook” into the tag box on the right of this thread. They can peek behind the scenes and assist with making sure everything’s showing up as you need it to.

    Good luck and get some rest!
