  Yesterday I enabled sharing for my blog to facebook. It worked, but today it is not working and I did not change the setting back. It shows that is will be publized to facebook but it is not.
  Blog url: http://dailycostaricaliving.wordpress.com/

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

  If you do a forum search, you’ll see this happens fairly frequently, especially with posts that are scheduled instead of posted live.

  Disconnect from Facebook, flush your Facebook cache, and reconnect. http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

  I’m sorry, raincoaster, but I find your explanation of how to flush my Facebook cache perfectly opaque. I have been trying to figure out how to reset the link to the page since I have the same problem, but I have no clue based upon your explanation. Attaching extra characters or simplifying a URL seems to have nothing to do with clearing a cache. I am trying the debugger, but it seems to be hung.

  Hi there,
  Do these help?
  1. the full reconnect procedure again detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook including step 3 (removing the FB app), which is probably the most important step.

  2. publicize troubleshooting http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#troubleshooting

  Hi, timethief,

  I DID get the successful message, but I’ve gotten it several times before and the connection didn’t work. The thing that really worries me is that when I try to look at the Facebook settings on WordPress, I also get a message that says “You don’t manage any Facebook pages.” Huh? But actually, I see that my posts from WordPress, which have not been showing up since August 1, are there after following your procedure, so thanks very much. Those instructions were just what I needed!
