Unable to publicize blog post in Facebook
-
I’ve been able to publicize all my blog posts on Facebook until today, something happened and I don’t know what. I cannot get my latest post to appear on my Facebook page. I’ve tried everything. I’ve closed and reopened the apps in both Facebook and WordPress, hasn’t worked.
Any ideas?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am experiencing the exact same problem. I remember authorizing wordpress to publicize to my facebook account automatically. Today, when I tried to publicize, after pressing the publish button on a given post, I would receive a message over to the right hand side of the screen saying if I want to publicize, I have to authorize wordpress to access facebook. I follow the link to authorize wordpress and after I do that, at the top of the screen it says that I’ve successfully authorized wordpress to access facebook, but then when I go to publicize the post again, I get the exact same problem and end up running in an infinite cycle.
So what’s the deal, wordpress?

At least I know it’s not just me! I’ve pretty much tried everything – and on more than one computer, so it seems to be a WordPress issue?
-
Yeah – either a WordPress or a Facebook issue … – i have tried from several PC’s as well – always wants me to restate the publishing rights (what I accept), but it still won’t work …
As a temporary solution you can just post the link manually – will be fixed soon I guess :)

My apologies guys, were currently looking into the FB publicize issue. We hope to get things sorted out asap. I’ll post here as and when I have more info.
In the meantime, thanks so much for your patience.

It is possibel to post the URLs and snippets directly using another means while waiting for Staff to fix this problem.
You could log into Facebook and go to your fan page. Then click on the edit page button below the pic box in the top left corner. Scroll down to the Facebook applications and look for notes and click edit. Then click on the import blog and put in your info. It’s the exact same as doing it for your personal profile, just under the fan page editing area.
You could use http://getsociallive.com and the Networked Blogs application, You can add the Networkblogs application and then add your feed to it on your profile. When you publish on your WordPress.com blog, it will update in the stream on Facebook and your wall both of which only post snippets and thumbnails after you publish a post.
If you are a regular HootSuite user, you can implement Twitter lists and also schedule your status updates on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Ping.fm.

I’ll have to see if it works…I’m glad it wasn’t only me that was having the issue though.

It’s not working! As soon as I authorize Facebook, and then post via Windows Live Writer, post does NOT appear in Facebook. When check my blogs, it says I have to authorize Facebook. How many times I have to do that? I had to post my disclaimer on my blog that points to a blog post: http://pasighobbyist.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/how-often-do-i-need-to-keep-on-authorizing-wordpress-com-to-post-into-my-facebook-account/
Facebook Authorization equals “Needs to be Authorized” as soon as a post is submitted.

Posting into Facebook FAILED!!!
I followed the instructions posted at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebookPosting into Twitter FAILED!!!
I deauthorized Facebook and Twitter, reauthorized both, and then wrote up a Test post in Windows Live Writer. I uploaded it, and My Blogs says I “will need to authorize your WordPress.com account on Pasig HOBBYist Blog to connect with your Facebook account.”
What wrong with WordPress.com? Is it going back to 2007 before publishing into Facebook and Twitter exists?
I am in the Philippines… I am marking WordPress.com DEFECTIVE, keeping my disclaimer posted on the front page of my blog.

I actually just made a post publicized to Twitter and Facebook with no problems.
Have you tried the reconnect procedures listed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook ?
