What is wrong with my Publicize to Facebook feature?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have been using the Publicize To Facebook feature for more than a year now. It has suddenly stopped working. When I go to ‘Manage my blogs’ it says that I am still connected to Facebook, but when I am publishing a post only Publicize to Twitter is enabled. When I check the box to activate Facebook publishing, it tells me to click a link. When I click that link, I am told that my WP account is connected to my FB account. I can repeat this process indefinitely.

    Things I have tried:

    – Following the FAQ instructions (disabling Publicize on both my WP and FB accounts, then reconnecting)
    – Changing browsers
    – Changing computers
    – Changing networks
    – Clearing cookies on browsers
    – Posting to forum (they referred me here)

  • When you tried to reconnect Facebook, did you follow set 3 (removing the app from your FB account)?

    This is what I see when create a new post with your account. Obviously, this doesn’t meant that the post is actually getting published to Facebook, but it *is* indicating that your blog is connected to Facebook.

    Can you try publishing a post right now and let me know A) if you are seeing that both Facebook and Twitter are enabled before you publish the post, and B) if the post actually gets posted on Facebook?

    I thought I replied to this, but it got eaten I guess.

    I have tried publishing test posts – they do not show up on Facebook, even though they say they are publicizing to Facebook before they go up. Once published, the ‘publicize: Facebook’ thing disappears and only Twitter remains.

  • Hm, let’s make a little modification to the reconnect process. Try reconnect process up through step 3, then log out of Facebook, and continue with step 4.
