    Hi there,
    I asked before the German support but they can´t really helped me so they advise me to ask my question here… Sorry for my bad English but I hope you can understand me…
    Since July or August I can´t share any article automatically to Facebook.
    I did all the troubleshooting steps (disconnect Facebook account from wordpress, on Facebook disconnect the WP app and reconnect them and so on) but it didn´t help.
    Always as I try to connect WP to my Facebook Account where shown a “key” symbol with the message : “Thereby can´t the app not posting on Facebook” this message made me really confused

    So, please can you help me???!!!!
    BTW: I asked also some people on Facebook and they tell me: it isn´t allowed to automatic posting/sharing anymore… the link besides: http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/27/5754862/facebook-gives-up-on-automatically-sharing-everything-you-do-online-open-graph

    the German version:
    Ich hab mal ne Frage, es geht um wordpress und Facebook: ich kann seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr meine Artikel auf Facebook teilen. Ich habe schon mehrmals die Troubleshooting tipps von wordpress gemacht, aber es klappt immer noch nicht. Ich habe zu erst in den Einstellungen von wordpress bei der “Teilen”-Funktion das Häckchen bei Facebook rausgenommen, dann bei Facebook selber unter Einstellungen “Apps” und wordpress entfernt. Dann habe ich mich wieder bei wordpress angemeldet und habe das Häckchen wieder gesetzt, dann kam das Dialog-Fenster “Mit Facebook verbinden” und da hat mich etwas stutzig gemacht: da war so ein Schloss-Symbol zu sehen, dahinter stand: es macht nicht möglich die Beiträge auf facebook zu veröffentlichen!

    LG Karina

    Hi Karina,
    Did you try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first? http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

    Another way to help Facebook update its cache faster is to enter the link in its debugger here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

    Looks like you’re talkin’ about different applications, Karina. Things like: ‘I’m listening to this on Soundcloud’, ‘I’m doin’ this or that here or there’, speakin’ of which it’s way better like this at it was polluting the environment, not to mention the fact that it was sort of attempt on the privacy at times.
    I’ve been using the WP app since the relaunch of my site: http://indamixworldwide.com since its relaunch back at the end of last June and never had any problems apart from little disconnections at times. So I don’t think it’s comin’ from Publicize itself.
    If you can share on other social networks and not on FB, then it’s probably a bug as said by our timechief…

    Thanks for your support. But my English is bad, that I can´t really translate your troubleshooting steps in the first answer. I´m asking the German WP support for translating, I hope they can help me. ;)

    So I wish you a good time and bye bye :)
