  Hi –

  Back in August, Facebook made some changes that affected our integration via Publicize. Now, you can only use Publicize to connect with a Facebook page, not a personal profile. Does this describe what you’ve experienced?

  Hi Liz,
  Shoot! Where and when was this communication sent?
  I hope there is not a fee for publicize since I have been using the post to Fb feature for years.

  I want my wp to link to my FB account as before. It prints with my logo icon and looks so much nicer.

  This is a choice on Facebook’s side, so unfortunately there’s nothing we can do on our end to change it.

  You can read about it here, though it is very much in developer-speak:

  And we also wrote about it here:
