Why won't my blog publicize, even after I've followed every step listed?

  I’ve connected to various social media outlets, but my blog still isn’t posting to them automatically. I’ve followed all the steps outlined, and did everything WordPress says to do if it’s not publicizing.

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

  Hi there,

  I checked your Publicize connections, and everything looks ok from this end. Have you published any new posts since you connected those social media services to your blog?

  Only newly published posts will be sent to those social media services, so you’ll need to wait until you publish a new post to see that working. If you’ve already published a post and it wasn’t sent out, please send me a link to that post so I can take a closer look at it for you. :)

  Yes it was a newly published post. Here is the link: http://blog.fliszarlaw.com/2014/07/03/how-to-get-a-dui-at-home/. Thanks!

  Thanks for that link! I don’t see any errors on our end for that post, but it’s possible that something else is causing problems.

  Could you let me know how you published that post? (For example, did you create the post with the New Post link at WordPress.com, or did you go to Posts > Add New in the blog’s dashboard?) That will help me keep investigating this for you.

  I created the post with the New Post link on WordPress.com.

  Thanks. I checked with my team and we’ve had some reports that Publicize isn’t working correctly when you have a Google+ connection set up. Could you try removing the Google+ connection and see if your next post publicizes correctly to your other social media services?

  Our team is investigating the issue with Google+ connections, but this might make your other connections work in the meantime.

  Okay, I’ll try that for my next post (which will probably go up tomorrow or Wednesday). I’ll let you know if it doesn’t work again. Thanks!

  Removed Google+, and posted today, and it shared on Twitter and Facebook without a problem.

  Thanks for letting me know. For now, you’ll need to share your posts to Google+ manually, but our team is investigating why that Google+ connection is causing problems.

  Hi there,

  Sorry for the long delay in following up with you. Have you reconnected Google+? Is it working for you properly now? If not, can you try it again now and let us know if it’s working?

  Thanks!
