  WordPress to Facebook posting worked on Tuesday, February 1st… BUT…

  WordPress to Facebook posting FAILED on Wednesday, February 2nd!

  WHY???

  Please MODIFY WordPress Dashboard to ANNOUNCE Facebook needing to be authorized again and again and again and again. I hate going to “My Blog” and seeing that Facebook has to be Authorized, AGAIN. Please put “Authorize Facebook” onto the Dashboard, and add “Re-Post into Facebook” into the posting page (post-new.php). This would save me from doing Facebook Share on EVERY post on my blog that failed to get shared into Facebook in the first place.

  I added http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/ to my bookmarks because I am now realizing that Authorizing Facebook (and sometimes, Twitter) has to be done, more than twice a week.

  I did two posts, both failed, between 11AM Philippine Local Time, which is 7PM, Tuesday, February 1, 2011, Pacific Time in USA.

  I haven’t seen other people reporting a problem on these forums, which may explain why WordPress.com employees haven’t added a message as you are suggesting. Maybe it’s just you and maybe you should consider contacting staff directly:

  I FINALLY GAVE UP!

  http://pasighobbyist.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/i-have-discontinued-feeding-my-wordpress-com-posts-into-my-facebook-account/

  I’ve tried doing the instruction at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook BEFORE and AFTER posting. The result is the same.

  If I am the only one having problems, then it’s because of one of the following:

  1. I am in the Philippines, and/or
  2. I am using Windows Live Writer.

  Again, I GAVE UP! I unchecked the box besides Facebook in “My Blogs”.

  I just de-authorized Twitter and then, re-authorized it, again. I guess only my WordPress.com account is misconfigured from posting into Twitter and Facebook.

  Now, I’m going to look for Windows Live Writer plugins to allow my posts to go into Twitter and Facebook, since it’s only my WordPress.com account won’t do it, automatically, anymore.

  I can’t figure out why I’m the only WordPress.com user experiencing these problems!
