  Publicize links did not use custom domain, it links to my wordpress.com address instead

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I noticed that you have several other social media connections added to your publicize settings (Settings>Sharing) as well. Are you seeing the same permalink issue in these as well, or just on Google+

  Thanks for the additional info!

  Yes, all the links on all other networks also point to wordpress.com

  Hi there,

  I was able to confirm that your shares on G+ and Tumblr are showing your default URL (instead of http://perry.ismangil.com/), but for your other social shares, can you clarify the issue you are seeing?

  I was not able to find recent shares from your blog on your Facebook and Linkedin profiles. Do you have a link so I can see your most recent blog post shared on these two networks and take a look at the links being included?

  Also Twitter does not include a full URL to your site, so a wp.me shortlink is used for those shares. This is the default behavior, due to the 140 character limit for Tweets, which would make displaying the full permalink to your site difficult

  Thanks for the additional info!

  Ok I was mistaken with Facebook, upon closer inspection it points to perry.ismangil.com.

  Here is LinkedIn, it seems to point to ismangil.wordpress.com as well:

  http://www.linkedin.com/nhome/updates?topic=5829237209706151936

  With Twitter, OK, it is usual to see shortlinks.

  Thanks for clarifying. I am going to have my engineering team take a closer look here, and I will update you when I know more.

  I also noticed that you no longer have G+ as connected in your Publicize settings (Settings>Publicize) as you once did. Do you not plan on sharing to G+ anymore?

  Thanks for your patience. :)

  No, I never disconnected G+.

  Add that to the technical issue then, sudden disconnect.

  Hi there,

  I just double checked your settings for Sharing (Settings>Sharing) for http://perry.ismangil.com/ and G+ does not appear to be connected. I noticed that you have several sites under your user account, are you sure you are in the correct dashboard?

  This is what I see: https://cloudup.com/cGUjjAlvbsM

  Do you see the same? If not, can you send me a screenshot of your Settings>Sharing>Publicize settings?

  Thanks for the additional info!

  Confirmed that you are connected, so sorry for the confusion there. To update you, we are looking in to this issue, but there may not be a fix available immediately. I will update you when I hear more on this issue.

  Thank yoyu again for your patience.
