Why is it suddenly not posting to Facebook?
-
The link to Facebook spontaneously broke and it will NOT let me link. It keeps telling me how, and I go through the process, and it will not go through. Intensely annoying.
Then, when I try to enter a link manually on Facebook, FB is only picking up the general site and not the specific page I am trying to post.
I’ve already done this successfully a few times, so I know it is not user-error.

More information….. So it shows as still connected but now has a choice that says “Set options.” When I click on this, I get a thin, white pop-up box with no text.

Hi there,
Can you try the following?
1. Disconnect your account from Facebook by going to your Dashboard -> Settings -> Sharing page.
2. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies:

Can you let me know if this resolves the issue for you?

Now it is posting, but it only links to the main page address and not the individual posting. Also, it refuses to show the picture – which is usually the main draw for why people want to read a blog article to begin with.
It used to link directly to the post. I can even put the address on Facebook myself and it STILL will not link directly to the post but only to http://www.renepeterson.info
Incredibly annoying.

Unfortunately, you’ll need to publish a new post after making changes to see the desired result, but it should work.
As for the images, how they are chosen is entirely up to Facebook and we have no control over this. They use a very restrictive set of criteria which tends to change frequently.
