  I forgot to check publicize to Facebook before publishing two posts in a new blog. Now, the publicize check box is unchecked and won’t check, although the Settings page says I’m connected to Facebook. Further, nothing appears on Facebook. Help.

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

  1. Try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

  2. (a) Try 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.
  (b) http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-twitter

  3. See also publicize troubleshooting http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#troubleshooting

  Note: RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti can be used for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer. RSS Graffiti periodically checks the RSS/Atom feeds that you specify and posts any new entries it finds to the Facebook Walls that you specify. You can get any feed written on any wall (Facebook Profiles, Fan Pages, Groups, Events and Application Profile Pages). In fact, multiple feeds to multiple walls. You choose the combination.

  Please note that reconnecting Publicize with Facebook and/or with Twitter does not re-publicize missed posts, but it will work for future posts.

  Thanks, but way too technical for me to understand and persue.
